How to dictate in Amazon Seller Central

Setup happens once, outside Amazon Seller Central, and then applies to every program on the machine:

1

Install Typally

Windows or macOS, then sign in. No card for the free tier.

2

Put the cursor in the Amazon Seller Central field you are filling

Whatever has the cursor receives the text, so click the right place in Amazon Seller Central before starting.

3

Hold the hotkey and talk

Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.

4

Read it before you move on

Amazon enforces character limits per field and rejects certain characters. Dictate into a plain editor first, then trim to length.

What Typally adds in Amazon Seller Central

Typally types into Seller Central's fields directly, so bullets and descriptions can be spoken at catalogue scale. Its AI cleanup strips the ums and false starts, which matters when you are answering 'why buy this' five times per product. Draft in a plain editor first if you are near Amazon's character limits, then paste — dictation makes the long version cheap, editing makes it fit.

What this looks like in practice

A seller relaunching six products answers 'why buy this' out loud five times per item. The thirty bullets take under half an hour and read like reasons rather than specifications copied from the supplier sheet.

One habit that makes it work better

Say the five bullets as answers to 'why should I buy this' asked five times. Spoken answers naturally lead with the benefit, which is what a bullet is for.

What to watch out for in Amazon Seller Central

Amazon enforces character limits per field and rejects certain characters. Dictate into a plain editor first, then trim to length.

Frequently asked questions

No. All listing fields are typed into the web interface.

Can I dictate replies to buyer messages?

Yes — the message composer is a normal text field.
