Voice to Text for Twitter
You have a thought worth tweeting. By the time you type it out, edit it down to 280 characters, and fix the typos — the moment has passed. Blurt lets you compose tweets by speaking. Hold a button, say what you're thinking, release. Your words appear as text in the compose box. Threads become conversations with yourself instead of typing marathons. Replies flow naturally. The hot take lands while it's still hot.
The Typing Problem
Typing kills the momentum of a good thread
You have a 12-part thread brewing in your head. The ideas are flowing, each tweet connecting perfectly to the next. Then you start typing. By tweet four, you've lost the thread of your own thread. The momentum dies. What started as a brilliant breakdown becomes a half-finished draft sitting in your compose window. Your fingers simply can't keep up with your thoughts.
Replies need to be fast to matter
Someone posts something and you have the perfect response. Witty. Timely. Exactly what the moment calls for. But you're on mobile, thumb-typing like a caveman. By the time you finish, there are already 47 replies. Yours gets buried. The moment where your reply would have mattered is three minutes ago. Twitter rewards speed, and typing is slow.
Quote tweets deserve more than a one-liner
You want to add real context to a quote tweet. Not just 'this' or a fire emoji. An actual thought that adds value. But typing out a thoughtful two-paragraph take while the original tweet is still getting traction feels impossible. So you settle for something shorter. Less impactful. The take you actually wanted to share stays in your head.
DMs feel like a chore when you're busy
Someone important slides into your DMs. A potential collaborator, a business opportunity, someone you actually want to talk to. But you're in the middle of something. Typing out a real response means stopping everything. So you leave them on read. Hours later, you finally reply, but the energy has shifted. They've moved on. You've lost the thread.
Your best tweet ideas come when you can't type
Walking the dog. In the shower. Driving. Lying in bed. That's when the perfect tweets come to you. Fully formed. Brilliant. And completely impossible to capture because your hands are busy. By the time you can type, the tweet has evaporated. Your best content dies in the gap between thought and keyboard.
How It Works
Blurt works anywhere Twitter runs on your Mac — the website, TweetDeck, any client with a text field.
Put your cursor in the tweet compose box
Click into any Twitter text field — new tweet, reply, DM, quote tweet. Anywhere you'd normally type.
Hold your hotkey and speak
Press your chosen shortcut and say your tweet. Speak naturally — Blurt handles punctuation and knows when you pause.
Release and post
Your words appear as text instantly. Edit if needed, then hit tweet. A thread that would take 10 minutes to type takes 90 seconds.
Real Scenarios
Composing threads that actually flow
You're ready to drop a thread explaining a concept you've been thinking about. Cursor in the compose box, hold your hotkey, and just... talk. Explain it like you're telling a friend. 'Okay so here's the thing about startup fundraising that nobody tells you. First tweet: VCs don't actually care about your TAM slide. They care about...' Keep talking. The thread writes itself because you're thinking out loud, not typing out loud. Tweet, add to thread, repeat.
Rapid-fire replies when something's trending
A topic you know well is blowing up. Your timeline is full of hot takes, and you have actual expertise. Every reply matters right now. Cursor in reply box, hold hotkey, speak your take, release, post. Next. Cursor, hotkey, speak, release, post. You're engaging at the speed of thought, not the speed of typing. Your replies land when they matter.
Quote tweets with actual substance
Someone shared something that needs context. Not a dunk — a genuine addition to the conversation. Hold your hotkey and explain: 'This is actually more nuanced than it looks. What they're not mentioning is that in 2023, the regulation changed and now...' Two paragraphs of real insight, dictated in 30 seconds. Your quote tweet adds value instead of just adding noise.
DM conversations that feel like conversations
You're DM-ing back and forth with someone about a potential collaboration. The messages need substance, not just 'sounds good.' Cursor in the DM field, hold hotkey: 'I really like that idea. What if we combined your audience with my product and did a joint launch in March? I'm thinking we could...' It reads like you actually care. Because you do. And now it sounds like it.
Capturing tweets while doing other things
You're reading an article on your Mac and a tweet idea hits you. Don't lose it. Cmd+Tab to Twitter, cursor in compose, hold hotkey, speak the tweet, release, post. Cmd+Tab back to your article. Total time: 8 seconds. The idea captured. The article not forgotten. Your timeline gets your best thoughts in real-time.
Live-tweeting events or shows
You're watching something — a keynote, a game, a show — and you want to tweet about it in real-time. But typing means looking away. Missing moments. Hold hotkey while watching: 'Did he really just say that? This is going to break the internet.' Eyes on the screen. Tweet composed. Nothing missed. Your followers get the play-by-play while you get the full experience.
Responding to mentions without losing your day
Notifications piling up. Mentions need responses. Each one deserves more than a like but less than twenty minutes of typing. Cursor in reply, hold hotkey, speak a real response, release, post. Next mention. Same flow. You've cleared your mentions in the time it would normally take to answer three. People feel heard. Your engagement stays high. Your hands aren't tired.
