Asana tasks are quick to create and slow to explain, so most of them never get explained. Hold a key and talk: Typally transcribes and types it into Asana without you touching the keyboard.
Written by the team behind Typally. Asana's own features are described as accurately as we can — check them yourself before switching anything.None. Task descriptions and comments are rich-text fields with no speech input.
Creating a task takes four seconds. Writing what it actually means takes four minutes, so the description stays empty and the task title has to carry information it cannot carry.
In practice people use it for: Task descriptions, comments on someone else's task, project briefs, status updates, and the handover note before annual leave.
Because Typally types at the system level rather than plugging into Asana, setup is the same everywhere:
One install, one sign-in. Nothing else to configure.
Make sure Asana has the cursor in the intended field; that is the only thing that decides where words appear.
Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
Asana's rich-text editor turns leading dashes and numbers into lists as you type, so a dictated list marker changes the block.
Typally types straight into the description field at the moment you create a task, which is the only moment the context exists in your head. Its cleanup pass means what lands is readable prose rather than a transcript, so a spoken description is something a colleague can act on rather than something you have to tidy up later.
A project lead creating eleven tasks after a kickoff meeting dictates two sentences into each description as she goes. The whole batch takes fourteen minutes, and nobody has to ask what task seven means.
Dictate the description at the moment you create the task, not later. There is no later — the context you have in that second is the whole value.

No. Descriptions and comments are typed fields.
Yes. Click into the comment box first so the cursor is inside it.
Yes — a system-level tool treats it like any other focused window.
There is a permanent free tier of 100 minutes a month. Pro costs $7.99/month and raises the limit.
