Dictate in any app · Browser
Most of what people type all day happens inside a browser tab. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere Chrome accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
Yes, we build Typally. That is also why the section on Chrome's built-in option is honest: people who switch after trying both are the ones who stay.Chrome powers Google's own voice typing in Docs, but it has no browser-wide dictation for arbitrary text fields.
Web forms, comment boxes, admin panels, CMS editors, support tools — the browser is where the majority of daily typing happens, and each site has to solve dictation separately, which means almost none of them do.
In practice people use it for: Any web form, CMS editors, admin panels, comment boxes, web-based email, and internal tools.
There is no Chrome extension or add-in involved — Typally behaves like a very fast keyboard:
Windows or macOS, then sign in. No card for the free tier.
Click first. Typally types into Chrome wherever the caret already is, with no idea what that field is for.
Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
Some web apps intercept keystrokes for their own shortcuts. Click into the field first and check the text landed.
One hotkey covers every site in the browser at once — the CMS, the admin panel, the ticketing tool, the internal app nobody will ever build dictation into. Typally types into the focused field, so a web app does not need to support anything. That is the only realistic way to have dictation everywhere on the web.
Someone whose job is spread across six different web tools stops looking for dictation in each one and uses a single hotkey everywhere. The tools that never had the feature now behave as if they did.
A tool that types at the system level covers every site at once, which is the only realistic way to have dictation everywhere on the web.
Some web apps intercept keystrokes for their own shortcuts. Click into the field first and check the text landed.
No. Chrome enables Google's voice typing in Docs, but there is no browser-wide dictation for arbitrary text fields.
With a system-level tool, generally yes — it types into whatever field has focus, regardless of the site.
Yes. The tool types into the window; it does not care about the browsing session.
