Voice to Text for WhatsApp
WhatsApp is how you stay connected with family abroad, coordinate with your team, and handle customer inquiries. But typing on your Mac keyboard for personal messages feels slower than it should. Blurt lets you speak your WhatsApp messages naturally. Hold a button, talk, release. Your words appear in the chat, properly punctuated, ready to send. Perfect for long family group discussions, quick business replies, and everything in between.
The Typing Problem
Family group chats move faster than you can type
Your family group has 15 unread messages about weekend plans. Everyone's chiming in. By the time you type your reply, the conversation has moved on. You want to share a quick story or give a proper response, but typing it all out feels like homework. So you send a thumbs up and miss the real conversation.
Business messages need thoughtful replies, fast
A customer just messaged your business WhatsApp asking about pricing and availability. They're comparing options and will go elsewhere if you take too long. You know exactly what to say, but typing a professional, detailed response while handling other tasks takes longer than it should. Quick replies win customers. Slow replies lose them.
Coordinating across time zones is exhausting
Your parents are 8 hours ahead. Your colleagues are 5 hours behind. When you finally have a moment to catch up on WhatsApp, there are dozens of messages to respond to. Each thoughtful reply takes 2-3 minutes to type. An hour disappears just responding to messages you could speak in 15 minutes.
Status updates require more words than you want to type
You want to share what's happening in your life, but typing out a genuine update feels tedious. So you post a photo with no caption, or skip the update entirely. The stories you'd tell in person never make it to your status because typing them out is too much effort.
Switching languages while typing slows everything down
Half your chats are in English, half in your native language. Switching keyboards constantly breaks your flow. You end up mixing languages or sending shorter messages than you intended. Your multilingual conversations deserve more than what a keyboard can comfortably handle.

Real Scenarios
Keeping up with international family chats
Your family group chat spans three continents and never sleeps. Aunts, uncles, cousins, all sharing news and asking questions. With Blurt, you hold the button and speak naturally: 'Yes, I'm planning to visit in March. Looking at flights next week. Mom, can you check if the guest room is free?' Sent in 8 seconds. Family stays connected across oceans without the typing fatigue.
Responding to customer inquiries quickly
A potential customer messages asking about your services. They want details, pricing, timeline. You know this answer by heart. Hold button, speak: 'Thanks for reaching out. Our standard package includes X, Y, and Z, priced at $500. Turnaround is typically 5-7 business days. Happy to jump on a call if you have specific questions.' Professional response sent before they move on to your competitor.
Coordinating group travel plans
Friends are planning a trip and the group chat is chaotic. Dates, destinations, budgets flying around. Instead of typing out your preferences and constraints, just speak them: 'I can do the first two weeks of August. Budget is flexible but let's keep accommodation under $150 per night. I'm good with either destination, but slightly prefer the beach option.' Your input logged, conversation moves forward.
Sharing stories in your status
Something interesting happened today and you want to share it. With Blurt, you don't have to type a novel. Hold button and tell the story: 'Ran into my old college roommate at the coffee shop today. Hadn't seen her in 8 years. Small world.' Authentic status update, posted in seconds. Your contacts actually know what's going on in your life.
Supporting customers during busy hours
You run a small business and handle customer WhatsApp yourself. During peak hours, messages pile up faster than you can type. With Blurt, each response takes 10 seconds instead of a minute. 'Your order shipped this morning, tracking number is ABC123. Should arrive by Friday.' Ten customers helped in the time it used to take for three.
Messaging while working on other things
You're deep in a spreadsheet when a message comes through from your partner. Quick response needed, but typing means losing your place. Hold Blurt hotkey, glance at the message, say 'Sounds good, I'll pick up groceries on the way home. Need anything else?' Release, back to your spreadsheet. Context preserved, relationship maintained.
