Dictate in any app · Notes
Capacities organises notes by object type, which rewards writing about things properly. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere Capacities accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
Written by the team behind Typally. Capacities's own features are described as accurately as we can — check them yourself before switching anything.AI features by plan. No dictation.
Object-based note-taking means every person, book and meeting gets its own page. That is a lot of pages, each needing content, and empty objects make the structure pointless.
In practice people use it for: Object notes for people, books and meetings, daily notes, and the connections between them.
Because Typally types at the system level rather than plugging into Capacities, setup is the same everywhere:
Windows or macOS build, signed in once.
Make sure Capacities has the cursor in the intended field; that is the only thing that decides where words appear.
Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.
The editor uses markdown-style formatting, so dictated punctuation can create structure.
Typally types into any object's editor, so filling a new object costs seconds rather than being deferred indefinitely. In a system where structure is free and content is not, that is the constraint worth removing.
Someone tracking people they meet at conferences speaks three sentences into each new person object. A year later those notes are what make a follow-up feel like continuing a conversation.
Write a couple of real sentences on each object when you create it. An object with a title and nothing else is worse than no object, because it looks like coverage.

No. Its AI assists; capture is typed.
Because creating an object is easy and filling it is not. Empty objects give a false sense of coverage.
Yes — they are all ordinary editors underneath.
