Hold one key, anywhere on your Mac, and just talk. Blurt turns voice into text the way it should be — strips the ums, sets the punctuation, and lays clean, finished words exactly where your cursor sits. No window. No friction. On Apple Silicon, it runs right on your Mac.
It strips the ums, sets the punctuation and obeys spoken commands like “new line” and “make that a list”. If an app has a text field — Mail, Slack, Notes, VS Code, your browser’s address bar — Blurt types into it.
On Apple Silicon it can run on your Mac once both local speech and clean-up models are installed and selected, with no account needed on-device. Prefer the managed Cloud? Choose it in the app — Blurt shows the route it uses.
So, the report is ready. I'll share it tonight. Thanks, everyone.
Blurt removes filler words like um and uh, sets the punctuation and obeys spoken commands like “new line”.
Hold the key, talk, and let go.
Can we move the demo to Thursday afternoon?
Mail, Slack, Notes, VS Code, the browser’s address bar: Blurt types where your cursor sits, and the text is the same everywhere.
Blurt detects what you speak — English, Ukrainian, German and dozens more. Say “translate to English” in your own words, or pick the Translate style, and it writes the text in the language you choose.
Hold the key and speak your own language.
Create a dark‑theme landing page for my dictation app that includes a single hero section with a live demo embed and a download button. Context: - The product is a dictation app. - The landing page should use a dark color scheme. Requirements: - One hero section only. - Include an interactive live demo of the app in the hero. - Add a prominent download button in the hero. - Design should be modern, clean, and visually appealing for tech‑savvy users. How to proceed: 1. Sketch a layout for the hero section meeting the requirements. 2. Write the HTML and CSS (or specify the framework) for a dark‑theme page with the hero, demo embed, and download button. 3. Ensure the demo works responsively and the button links to the download URL (to be provided later). What to return: - Full HTML and CSS code for the landing page. - A brief description of the design choices (color palette, typography, spacing).
Double-tap the key and ask for a prompt. Blurt writes one from what you said and puts it where your cursor is, ready for your AI assistant — on your Mac or in the cloud, wherever your dictation runs.
Double-tap, then say what you need.
When both local speech and clean-up models are installed and selected, Blurt transcribes and cleans up your words right on your Mac. On-device mode in Blurt 0.3.27 and later keeps processing local, including when a model is unavailable. No account needed on-device.
Your audio is uploaded to Blurt’s server, which relays it to a transcription provider and returns the text without keeping the audio; the transcript is cleaned up by a text model at OpenRouter or OpenAI. Cloud needs a free account with a confirmed email address.
No third-party analytics and no ad trackers. This site counts visits with our own analytics, without cookies and without identifying you; Blurt’s own usage counters and crash reports are off unless you switch them on, and never contain a word you said. Privacy policy · Processors

See plans and prices →Yes. Blurt is free to use. On-device dictation needs no account — no sign-up, no email, no card. After the guided permissions and model setup, fully local dictation on Apple Silicon costs nothing. Both local speech and clean-up models must be ready; check the route shown in the app. The managed Cloud plan needs a free Blurt account with a confirmed email address; with it you get 200 free cloud words to try the Cloud plan; subscribe to Blurt Pro if you'd rather we handle transcription for you — there is no daily limit, only an anti-abuse ceiling that works out to about 277 hours of speech a month (Terms § 8).
Apple Dictation transcribes raw speech and times out. Blurt produces finished text: it removes filler words like um and uh, fixes punctuation, breaks paragraphs, and obeys spoken commands like "new line" and "make that a list". There's no timeout — you hold the key for as long as you like.
Yes. Blurt is system-wide, not browser-only. If an app has a text field — Mail, Slack, Notes, VS Code, Word, your browser's address bar — Blurt types clean text right where your cursor sits.
It depends on the mode. Fully local dictation requires both speech and clean-up models to be installed and selected. In Blurt 0.3.27 and later, On-device mode never switches to cloud processing automatically. On the managed Cloud plan, your audio is uploaded to Blurt's server, which relays it to a transcription provider (Soniox or ElevenLabs for the live row of words while you hold the key; Groq by default, or OpenAI, for the recording sent after you release) and returns the text without keeping the audio. Blurt includes no third-party analytics or trackers; its own usage analytics and crash reports are off unless you switch them on and never contain your words or audio. Full detail is in the privacy policy.
Blurt guides you through first-run setup: grant the macOS permissions needed for dictation, and choose on-device or managed Cloud processing. On-device mode downloads its models to your Mac and needs no account; Cloud mode uses our managed providers and needs a free account with a confirmed email address, which the app asks for when you use the cloud. You do not need your own API key.
Blurt auto-detects the language you speak — English, Ukrainian, German, and dozens more — and formats the result correctly. You don't have to pre-select a language before you start talking.
No. Blurt is an Apple Silicon app: it requires a Mac with an M1 chip or newer and does not run on Intel Macs at all. The requirements are macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later on Apple Silicon, where local and Cloud processing are available. The download is 19.6 MB and Blurt lives in your menu bar.
Open Blurt and follow its setup to grant the macOS permissions and choose on-device or Cloud processing. For on-device mode, let the models download first — no account is needed. For Cloud mode, sign in to a free account with a confirmed email address. Once setup is complete, hold the dictation key shown in Blurt and talk. Release it to insert the processed text at your cursor.
