Voice to Text for Technical Support Specialists

You spend your day solving problems, not writing about them. But every ticket needs documentation, every bug needs reproduction steps, and every customer needs a clear explanation. Blurt lets you speak your troubleshooting notes, knowledge base articles, and customer responses while you focus on actually fixing issues. Hold a button, describe the solution, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — in Zendesk, Jira, Confluence, anywhere. Less typing, more helping.

The Typing Problem

Documenting troubleshooting steps while on a call

You're walking a customer through a complex fix while simultaneously trying to type every step you take. Your notes end up incomplete because you can't type and troubleshoot at the same time. Later, when the same issue comes up, you're recreating the solution from memory instead of following the detailed steps you meant to document.

Writing bug reproduction steps that engineers can actually follow

The bug is clear in your head. You just spent 20 minutes isolating it. But translating that into step-by-step reproduction instructions takes another 20 minutes of typing. Engineers reject vague reports, so you have to be precise. By the time you finish writing, you could have documented three more issues.

Explaining technical concepts to non-technical customers

The customer needs to understand why their file won't upload, but you need to avoid jargon that will confuse them. You know exactly what to say — you've explained this a hundred times verbally. But typing it out in a way that's friendly, clear, and complete takes five times longer than just telling them.

Contributing to the knowledge base when you barely have time

You solved a tricky edge case that took an hour to figure out. It should go in the KB so the next person doesn't waste an hour too. But writing a proper article means formatting, screenshots, and detailed explanations. Your ticket queue is growing. The article never gets written. Next month, you solve the same problem again.

Your hands are exhausted from constant typing

Tickets, internal notes, customer replies, bug reports, documentation updates. You type thousands of words every shift. By week's end, your fingers ache and your wrists are stiff. You're 30 and already worried about how long you can sustain this pace. The keyboard is your enemy, but it's also your only tool.

Real Scenarios

Writing detailed bug reports for engineering

You've reproduced the crash and engineers need the steps. Hold the button and walk through it: 'Bug occurs on version 3.2.1 on macOS Sonoma. Steps to reproduce: log in with a new account, navigate to settings, click export data, select CSV format, click export button. Application crashes immediately. Console shows null pointer exception in export handler.' Engineers get exactly what they need. You move to the next ticket.

Crafting patient customer explanations

A frustrated customer doesn't understand why their sync failed. You could type a careful explanation, but speaking is faster: 'I completely understand the frustration. What happened is our sync process detected a conflict between your local file and the cloud version. To protect your work, we paused the sync rather than overwrite either copy. Here's how to resolve it...' Empathetic, clear, and done in 15 seconds.

Adding internal notes to tickets

The ticket needs context for whoever handles it next. Hold and speak: 'Customer has been experiencing intermittent login failures for two weeks. Already tried clearing cache and resetting password. Issue appears to be related to their corporate VPN blocking our authentication servers. Escalated to tier 2 with network team CC'd.' Complete handoff context without typing a paragraph.

Contributing knowledge base articles

You just solved a tricky problem that will definitely come up again. Instead of letting the knowledge die with the ticket, hold your hotkey and dictate the article: 'Title: Resolving sync conflicts on shared folders. When multiple users edit the same file simultaneously, our system creates conflict copies. Here's how to identify and merge them...' The KB grows while the solution is fresh in your mind.

Quick Slack responses to teammates

A colleague pings asking how to handle a specific error code. You're mid-ticket but know the answer instantly. Hold, say 'Error 5023 means the API rate limit was hit. Have them wait 15 minutes and retry, or if urgent, we can reset their limit from the admin panel under usage controls.' Back to your ticket in 5 seconds. No context lost.

Escalation notes for tier 2 or engineering

The issue is beyond your scope and needs escalation. Instead of typing a lengthy handoff, speak it: 'Escalating to tier 2. Customer reports data loss after upgrade to version 4.0. I've confirmed their backup exists from March 15. Issue affects their production database. They're on our Enterprise plan with 4-hour SLA. Priority high.' All the context leadership needs, delivered in one breath.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Blurt work in Zendesk, Jira, and other support tools?
Yes. Blurt works anywhere you can type on macOS. Zendesk, Jira, Confluence, Freshdesk, Intercom, Salesforce Service Cloud — if you can place a cursor there, Blurt can insert text there.
Can Blurt handle technical terms and error codes?
Blurt handles technical vocabulary well. Error codes, product names, technical jargon — it transcribes them accurately. For highly specialized internal terminology, occasional edits might be needed, but common support language works reliably.
How much does Blurt cost?
Blurt is $10/month or $99/year. There's also a free tier that gives you first 1,000 words free — enough to try it out and see if it fits your workflow before committing.
Does it work during customer calls?
Yes. Blurt captures audio through your microphone independently of call software. You can be on a Zoom or phone call, muted or not, and still dictate notes. Just be mindful of unmuting if you're dictating while the customer can hear you.
What platforms does Blurt support?
Blurt is currently available for macOS only. It runs in your menu bar and works across all macOS applications. Windows and Linux versions are not currently available.
Can I use Blurt for templated responses?
Blurt is best for unique, contextual responses rather than templates. For canned responses, your ticketing system's built-in templates are more efficient. Blurt shines when you need to write something custom — troubleshooting notes, personalized explanations, or detailed documentation.
Does Blurt work on Windows?
Blurt is macOS only. We focused on creating the best possible Mac experience with native menu bar integration and system-level keyboard shortcuts. Windows and Linux versions are not currently available.
