ClassDojo messages go to parents, and tone matters more there than anywhere. Typally puts your words into ClassDojo the moment you release the key, in whichever field you left the cursor.
We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where ClassDojo has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.Translation features for parent messages. No dictation.

In practice people use it for: Parent messages, class story posts, behaviour notes, and announcements.
Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside ClassDojo:
