Push-to-talk dictation for Windows

Talk, and it’s typed.

Hold your hotkey, say what you mean, let go. Blurt types it into whatever app has your cursor, adding the commas, periods and capitals and leaving every word exactly as you said it.

An animated demo. Someone holds the hotkey and speaks. When they let go, Blurt types their words into the app with punctuation and capitals added and no words changed.

Running ten minutes late, start without me. Can you send me the deck before the call? Thanks, Sam. That works for me. Quick question: is the office open on Sunday? Let’s pick this up on Monday. Sorry I missed you. Back at my desk now. Happy birthday, Grandma! Call you tonight.

How it works

Hold. Talk. Let go.

There’s no window to switch to and nothing to paste. Blurt works right where you’re already typing.

  1. 1Hold

    Hold your hotkey

    Do it wherever the cursor is blinking: an email, a doc, a chat box, the search bar. That’s where your words will land.

  2. 2Talk

    Say it like you’d say it

    No need to say “comma” or “period”. Just talk. Bart’s ring of wave bars lights up so you know he’s listening.

  3. 3Let go

    Let go, and it’s typed

    Release the key and the text appears at your cursor, punctuated and capitalized. Not paraphrased, not polished into someone else’s voice. Yours.

Features

Your words, exactly. Everywhere you type.

Punctuation that never changes your words

A small punctuation engine runs right on your PC, and it has one job: periods, commas, question marks and capitals. It never swaps a word, drops one, or “improves” your phrasing. That’s a tested property of the engine, not a hope.

Works in every app

If it has a cursor, Blurt can type into it. Nothing to copy, nothing to paste.

A dictionary that learns your words

Colleagues’ names, product names, the street you live on. Blurt learns the words you actually use, so they come out spelled your way.

Snippets

Say a trigger, get a block of text. Your address, your sign-off, the polite “not this week” you send every week.

“my sign-off”
Talk soon,

Multilingual

Write in more than one language? Dictate in more than one, too. Blurt isn’t English-only.

Command mode

Fix it out loud.

Select some text, hold the key and say what you want: shorter, friendlier, a bullet list. Blurt rewrites the selection right where it is.

Dictation never rewrites you. Command mode changes words only when you’ve selected them and asked.

Re: Launch dateDraft
Hi all, just following up on the thing we talked about in the meeting yesterday, which is basically that the launch date is moving from the 12th to the 19th because the vendor needs another week to finish their testing.

Read-aloud

Hear it before you hit send.

Blurt can read your text back to you in natural voices. It’s a good way to catch the sentence that looks fine but sounds wrong.

Hi Sam, thanks again for covering Friday. The handover notes are in the shared folder, and I’ve flagged the two calls that can’t wait. I owe you one. A real one, not a coffee.

Privacy

Your words are never used to train models.

It’s enforced by a gate in Blurt’s own code. Your audio and text only go to providers that don’t train on them. A provider that would train on them gets nothing.

In the works

The Local add-on ($149, one time) puts open-source models on your own machine: speech-to-text, the language model for Command edits, and the read-aloud voice. If your hardware is up to it, flip to pure local and your words never leave your PC.

From your PCYour audio and text
Also on your PCLocal open-source models
Done, on your PCNothing leaves your machine

Needs capable hardware. A mid-range graphics card gives the best experience. The price is set, but the add-on isn’t available yet.

A rule written in code

The no-training rule isn’t a line in a policy page. Blurt checks it before your audio or text goes anywhere.

Punctuation stays on your PC

The punctuation engine runs on-device. Adding commas to your sentences doesn’t need anybody’s server.

FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Will Blurt change what I say?

Dictation won’t. The punctuation engine adds punctuation and capitals and nothing else. It never swaps, drops or “fixes” a word, and that’s a tested property. Words only change in Command mode, after you’ve selected text and asked for it.

Is my voice or text used to train AI models?

No. Your words are never used to train models. Blurt enforces that in code: your audio and text only go to providers that don’t train on them, and the punctuation step runs on your own PC.

Which apps does it work in?

Anything on Windows you can type into: Outlook, Word, Slack, your browser and the rest. Blurt types into whichever app has your cursor, so there’s nothing to copy across. Password fields get special care: Blurt does its best never to type there - when it can tell the field you are in is a password field, it refuses to fill it in, and the attempt is never typed or kept in your history. No detection is perfect, so treat it as a safety net rather than a guarantee, and best not to dictate passwords on purpose.

Is there a Mac version?

Not yet. Blurt is Windows-only for now, and a Mac version is something we hope to add soon.

What’s in the Assistant plan?

It’s the full voice-assistant tier, and it isn’t available yet. Here’s what we’re working hard to bring you: real back-and-forth voice conversation, so you can talk things through instead of just dictating; Bart asking, clarifying and reporting back; and near-full-duplex conversation, so you can interrupt him mid-sentence. We’d rather show it to you working than sell it to you early.
