Blurt
Freemium
Blurt is AssemblyAI’s voice-to-text dictation app for entering spoken words into the field or text destination where you are working. Hold a key, speak, and release it to send the dictated text onward.
O que é Blurt?
Blurt is AssemblyAI’s voice-to-text dictation experience. Hold a key, speak, and send the resulting words into the text field or destination where you are working. Its purpose is to make short-form text input possible without typing every word.
Blurt is associated with AssemblyAI’s Dictation API, which is designed to return finished, formatted text rather than only a verbatim transcript. The available evidence describes cleanup of filler words and self-corrections, along with punctuation, capitalization, and formatting instructions. The supplied Blurt page does not document its supported operating systems, setup steps, or a standalone pricing plan.
O que Blurt pode fazer?
Text placed into the active workflow
The product concept is built around having spoken words land wherever the user is entering text, rather than requiring a separate copy-and-paste step.
Finished-text workflow
Blurt is built on the Dictation API, which returns text intended to be ready for use and can remove filler words, stutters, false starts, and self-corrections.
Punctuation and capitalization cleanup
The related API applies punctuation and capitalization so dictated speech can be used as written text instead of an unformatted transcript.
Instruction-based formatting
AssemblyAI’s Dictation API accepts formatting instructions, allowing an implementation to specify how returned text should be structured or styled.
Casos de uso
“Quick messages”
Dictate a sentence or short message when speaking is faster or more convenient than typing, then continue with the text in the active field.
“Spoken prompts”
Use voice to enter an instruction for an agent or other text-driven tool, with the spoken input converted into written text and punctuation.
“Notes between tasks”
Capture a short note while moving between tasks or away from a keyboard, using the hotkey workflow to get words into a text destination.
“Structured professional text”
The related Dictation API is positioned for workflows such as support replies, clinical notes, and CRM notes where spoken content needs cleanup or a specified format.
