Dictate into any app,
on every computer
Hold one key, say it the way you think, and let go. Clean, punctuated writing lands at your cursor in Slack, email, docs, your code editor or your AI tools.
Blurt is a voice dictation app for Mac, Windows and Linux. It works in any text field, removes filler words and false starts, learns your vocabulary, and transcribes on your computer by default, so it works offline. Unlimited dictation is free.
“um yeah so I think it's like still valid, uh but let's let's get legal to confirm before we send anything”
I think it's still valid, but let's get legal to confirm before we send anything
“okay so refactor this so that um consecutive segments from the same speaker get merged you know into one paragraph”
Refactor this so consecutive segments from the same speaker merge into one paragraph
“hey Alex, thanks for for the nudge, um I'll send the updated proposal like by Thursday”
Hi Alex, thanks for the nudge. I'll send the updated proposal by Thursday
Hold, talk,
let go.
Hold your key
Anywhere you can type. No window to open, no app to switch to.
Say it naturally
Pause, restart, change your mind. Talk the way you'd explain it to a colleague.
Let go
Blurt tidies it up and pastes it at your cursor, usually in about a second.
About three times
faster than typing.
Most people type around 52 words a minute and speak around 150. Dictation won't replace your keyboard, but it's the quickest way to get a first draft out of your head.
Say you write 2,000 words a day in messages, email and prompts.
That's about 25 minutes back every day, before counting the editing you skip because it comes out clean.
Anywhere
there's a cursor.
Messages
Reply in full sentences instead of “ok 👍”, without the typing time.
“Thursday works. I'll bring the updated numbers and we can decide then.”
Get the whole reply down in one go, then give it a quick read.
“Hi Alex, thanks for the nudge. I'll send the proposal by Thursday.”
AI prompts
Longer prompts with more context get better answers. Talking makes long prompts easy.
“Here's the background, here's what I tried, and here's what I want…”
Code and terminals
Describe the change to your coding agent, or dictate comments and commit messages.
“Merge consecutive segments from the same speaker into one paragraph.”
First drafts
Talk through a memo or outline, then edit it. It's easier than facing a blank page.
“Three things we learned this quarter. First, customers…”
Notes after a call
Log a quick call summary while it's fresh, straight into the field it belongs in.
“Spoke with Sam. Budget approved, next step is a pilot in May.”
It writes like you,
not like a transcript.
A raw transcript keeps every “um.” Blurt keeps your words and your meaning, and drops the rest. You can turn cleanup off whenever you want the exact words.
- The contract
- The logo files
- The invoice
Teach it
your words.
Names, product terms and acronyms are where dictation usually trips up. Add them once and Blurt spells them right from then on, in dictation and in meeting transcripts.
- Learns from your fixes. Correct a word once and Blurt offers to remember it.
- Shared with meetings. The same dictionary improves your call transcripts.
- Stays yours. Stored on your computer and synced encrypted if you turn sync on.
One key
on every platform.
| Platform | Default key | Works in | Change it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mac | fn | Any app with a text field | Settings → Dictation |

Works offline.
Private by default.
Your voice is transcribed by a speech model on your own computer. Dictation keeps working on a plane, behind a strict firewall, or when the Wi-Fi drops. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose a cloud option.
Transcription and cleanup run on your computer. Nothing leaves it.
Faster, more accurate models for older computers. Encrypted in transit, never used for training, and deleted after processing.
Connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic or other provider for cleanup.
