For schools
Speech-to-text for students who know exactly what they want to say.
Some students can tell you a whole story out loud, then freeze at the keyboard. Blurt lets them say it and watch it land on the page.
Free plan with 2,500 words a week. No card needed.
Why speech-to-text
The accommodation your handbook already names.
The Texas Dyslexia Handbook names speech-to-text as an example of a regular education aid, and it is a STAAR designated support for eligible students. It fits students who speak clearly but struggle to get words down: dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, many autistic students, and motor difficulty with handwriting and typing. The sources, in their own words, are on the Evidence page.
An honest note: non-speaking students need AAC, not dictation, and atypical speech is better served by a recognizer trained for it. Who Blurt fits, and who it does not, is spelled out on Evidence.
In the classroom
What it looks like in class.
Hold a key, talk, release
The words land at the cursor: a Google Doc, a short answer box, anywhere the student is already writing.
Chromebooks
The Blurt Chrome extension works wherever Chrome runs. The student clicks the floating Blurt bubble on any web page and speaks.
Mac and Windows
The full desktop app dictates into anything on the computer, and transcription runs on the device.
A dictionary the class controls
The custom dictionary learns vocabulary words, names, and the spelling your class uses.
Student privacy
Built for student privacy.
On the device
On Mac and Windows, transcription runs on the student's device and audio is not uploaded.
No profiles, no ads
No targeted advertising, no student profiles, no selling or renting student information.
TX-NDPA signed
We sign the Texas student data privacy agreement (TX-NDPA) and equivalent state agreements on request.
COPPA is on us
When a school consents on a parent's behalf for educational use, that responsibility is ours, not the school's.
The details live on Privacy and Local-only configuration.
How schools pay
$89 per student, once a year.
One payment, no subscription, delivered as a code by email. Schools buy on a purchase order: one invoice, net 30, tax exempt with a certificate, W-9 ready. Texas districts can buy speech-to-text with the dyslexia allotment as a Section 504 aid, on a purchase order under $100,000 with no bids.
Families can pay too: Texas Education Freedom Accounts, Texas PDSES, Florida FES-UA, and the other programs listed with their own rules on Get it funded. And the free plan, 2,500 words a week, lets a student try it before anyone spends a dollar.
