AssemblyAI released Blurt, a free, open-source Mac app for push-to-talk dictation: hold a key, talk, and cleaned-up text lands wherever you're typing—as notes, a commit message, or a customer reply—with filler words and false starts removed.
- Built on the Dictation API and Universal-3.5 Pro; up to 30% fewer hallucinations than Whisper
- 19 languages with mid-sentence code-switching
- 150 ms transcription, cleaned text in under a second; claims 220 wpm vs 45 wpm typing
- $0.62/hr, macOS download and GitHub repo available
