Voice to Text for Threads
You scroll Threads and see something worth responding to. A quick thought forms. But by the time you tap around, find the compose button, and type it out — the moment feels stale. Blurt lets you compose Threads posts by speaking. Hold a button, say what's on your mind, release. Your words appear as text in the compose field. Posts flow naturally. Replies land fast. Your quick thoughts stay quick.
The Typing Problem
Quick thoughts aren't quick when you type them
Threads is built for quick thoughts. Casual observations. The stuff that doesn't need to be a polished essay. But typing makes everything feel like work. That off-the-cuff reaction becomes a multi-step ordeal: tap, type, backspace, retype, check for typos. By the time you post, the spontaneity is gone. What should be a five-second thought becomes a thirty-second production.
Replies need to be fast to join the conversation
Someone posts something and a conversation starts forming. You want in. You have something to add. But you're thumb-typing on mobile or pecking at a keyboard on desktop. The replies are stacking up. By the time you finish your response, the thread has moved on. Twenty people have already said what you were going to say. Threads rewards being in the moment, and typing takes you out of it.
Reposts with comments deserve actual commentary
You want to repost something with context. Not just amplify it — add your own take. Explain why it matters. But typing out a meaningful comment feels like writing an article. So you either skip the comment entirely and just repost, or you phone it in with something generic. The insight you actually wanted to share stays in your head because your fingers are too slow.
Your best post ideas come when you can't type
Walking the dog. In line for coffee. Commuting. That's when Threads-worthy thoughts hit you. Fully formed. Worth sharing. But your hands are full or it's just not practical to type. By the time you're free, the thought has dissolved. Your best potential content dies in the gap between brain and keyboard.
Threading your thoughts feels like building furniture
You have a longer thought that needs multiple posts. A story. An explanation. A rant that deserves proper structure. But composing a multi-post thread on Threads means typing, posting, typing again, posting again. It's assembly work. The flow of your thought gets interrupted by the mechanics of posting. What should feel like a conversation becomes a construction project.
How It Works
Blurt works anywhere Threads runs on your Mac — the website in any browser. If there's a text field, Blurt can type in it.
Put your cursor in the Threads compose box
Click into any Threads text field — new post, reply, repost with comment. Anywhere you'd normally type.
Hold your hotkey and speak
Press your chosen shortcut and say what's on your mind. Speak naturally — Blurt handles punctuation and understands your pauses.
Release and post
Your words appear as text instantly. Edit if needed, then hit post. A thought that would take 45 seconds to type takes 10 seconds to speak.
Real Scenarios
Capturing quick thoughts the moment they hit
You're browsing and something pops into your head. A random observation. An opinion. The kind of thing Threads was made for. Don't let it evaporate while you hunt for the right keys. Cursor in compose, hold your hotkey, just say it: 'Why does every coffee shop play the same playlist? Like there's one Spotify account for all of them.' Release, post. The thought captured in its raw, immediate form. That's what makes Threads feel alive.
Jumping into conversations before they move on
A post is getting traction and you have something to add. Not just agreement — an actual contribution. Cursor in the reply field, hold hotkey: 'This happened to me last week and the trick that worked was calling the support line at exactly 7am before the queue builds up.' Your insight lands while people are still paying attention. You're part of the conversation, not an afterthought.
Reposts with context that actually adds value
Someone shared something worth amplifying, but it needs context. You want to explain why it matters. Hold your hotkey and speak your commentary: 'This is exactly what I was trying to explain last month. The policy changed in November and now everyone is dealing with these same problems.' Your repost becomes a contribution, not just an echo. Real value added in seconds.
Building multi-post threads that flow
You have a story that needs more than one post. A breakdown. An explanation. Compose the first post by voice, post it, tap 'Add to thread', and keep talking. 'Okay so part two. After that happened, I decided to...' The thread builds naturally because you're thinking out loud, not typing out loud. Your narrative stays coherent because you're not losing the thread of your own thought.
Responding to your own posts with updates
You posted something earlier and now you have an update. A follow-up thought. New information. Reply to your own post by voice: 'Update on this — I just heard back and apparently they're changing the policy next month.' Your followers see the progression of your thinking without you having to compose a new standalone post.
Engaging with multiple posts quickly
You're catching up on Threads and want to engage meaningfully with several posts. Reply to one, voice your thought, post. Scroll, reply to another, voice that thought, post. The replies flow naturally because speaking takes no effort. You're present in multiple conversations simultaneously without your hands getting tired.
Capturing thoughts while doing other things
You're working on something else and a Threads-worthy thought crosses your mind. Cmd+Tab to Threads, cursor in compose, hold hotkey, say the thought, release, post, Cmd+Tab back. Ten seconds. The thought captured. Your work barely interrupted. Your presence on Threads stays consistent even when you're busy.
