Voice to Text for Telegram
Telegram is where you manage communities, coordinate with privacy-focused teams, and engage with channel subscribers. But keeping up with active groups and crafting thoughtful channel posts from your Mac keyboard takes forever. Blurt lets you speak your Telegram messages naturally. Hold a button, talk, release. Your words appear in the chat or channel editor, properly punctuated, ready to send. Perfect for group discussions, channel updates, and quick replies to your community.
The Typing Problem
Group conversations move faster than you can type
Your Telegram group has 50 unread messages from the last hour. Community members are debating, asking questions, sharing ideas. By the time you type your response, three more topics have started. You want to contribute meaningfully, but typing detailed responses while keeping up with the flow is impossible. So you send brief reactions and miss opportunities to lead the conversation.
Channel posts require polished writing under pressure
Your subscribers expect regular updates. Each post needs to inform, engage, and reflect your brand. But sitting down to type 300 words for a channel update feels like writing an essay. You know what you want to say, but translating thoughts to keyboard strokes takes too long. Posts get delayed. Your audience waits. Consistency suffers.
Managing multiple groups is exhausting
You moderate three communities, participate in five more, and have dozens of active direct chats. Switching between conversations and typing thoughtful responses to each one consumes hours. Every message requires context switching, reading, thinking, then laboriously typing. Your fingers get tired before your thoughts run out.
Voice messages put the burden on your recipients
Telegram's built-in voice messages are convenient for you but inconvenient for everyone else. Recipients have to find headphones or a private space to listen. They can't skim your message, search for it later, or quote specific parts. You want the speed of speaking without making your contacts deal with audio playback.
Detailed technical discussions need more words than you want to type
Someone in your dev group asked a complex question. You know the answer inside out and could explain it verbally in 30 seconds. But typing that explanation with code references and context would take five minutes. So you give a shorter, less helpful answer, or worse, skip it entirely and hope someone else responds.

Real Scenarios
Managing active community discussions
Your crypto community group has 200 members discussing market moves. Questions come in faster than anyone can answer. With Blurt, you hold the button and respond: 'Great question about the tokenomics. The vesting schedule is 12 months with quarterly unlocks. Check the pinned message for the full breakdown, and let me know if the whitepaper link still works.' Detailed answer sent in 15 seconds. Community feels supported.
Publishing channel updates
Time for your weekly channel post. Instead of staring at a blank screen, hold Blurt and speak naturally: 'This week we shipped the new dashboard feature, fixed the login bug that was affecting mobile users, and started work on the API v2. Big thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports. Next week we're focusing on performance optimization.' Professional update posted while the thoughts are fresh.
Coordinating with remote team members
Your distributed team uses Telegram for quick coordination. Project updates, blockers, questions pop up throughout the day. Instead of typing each response, speak them: 'I finished the design review. Three small changes needed on the header. I'll send annotated screenshots in five minutes. Can someone update the Trello card?' Team stays aligned without typing fatigue.
Engaging with channel subscribers
A subscriber commented on your latest post with a thoughtful question. They deserve a real response, not a dismissive one-liner. With Blurt: 'Thanks for this question, it's something I've thought about a lot. The short answer is yes, but with caveats. Here's how I think about it...' Genuine engagement that builds community loyalty.
Participating in niche interest groups
You're in a photography group where people share techniques and critique each other's work. Someone posted a photo asking for feedback. You have specific thoughts about composition and lighting. Hold Blurt: 'Love the mood here. The shadow on the left creates nice depth. I'd try cropping tighter on the subject, maybe a 4:5 ratio. The highlights in the background are slightly blown, but honestly it works for this dreamy aesthetic.' Thoughtful critique delivered as fast as you can think it.
Responding to bot interactions and automations
You use Telegram bots for task management and notifications. When a bot asks for input or you need to configure settings, speaking is faster than typing commands: 'Create new task, review Q4 budget projections, due Friday, high priority, assign to marketing channel.' Complex bot input handled conversationally.
Catching up after being away
You were offline for a day and have 100+ messages across groups. Reading takes time, but responding takes longer. With Blurt, you can blast through responses: reply to the planning question, acknowledge the announcement, answer the technical query, all by speaking. An hour of catch-up typing compressed into twenty minutes.
