Dictate in any app · Notes
Craft makes documents that look good, and looking good does not write the words. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in Craft exactly where your cursor was.
Written by the team behind Typally. Craft's own features are described as accurately as we can — check them yourself before switching anything.None of its own. Apple's system dictation reaches it on Mac.
Craft is chosen by people who care how a shared document reads. That aesthetic care raises the bar for the writing too, which makes starting harder rather than easier.
In practice people use it for: Shared documents, meeting notes, personal wikis, project briefs, and daily notes.
Because Typally types at the system level rather than plugging into Craft, setup is the same everywhere:
One install, one sign-in. Nothing else to configure.
Make sure Craft has the cursor in the intended field; that is the only thing that decides where words appear.
Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
Craft's block editor converts typed markers into blocks, so dictated dashes and slashes restructure the document.
Typally fills a plain Craft page with clean prose so you can style it afterwards. Because it types at the cursor, it will not trip the block conversions that catch people out — dictate into a paragraph block, then apply Craft's formatting once the words exist and you can see what they need.
A consultant preparing a client-facing summary speaks the whole thing into a plain Craft page in nine minutes, then spends six making it look like something worth sending. Previously those two jobs got tangled and neither finished.
Get the words down first and style afterwards. Craft's formatting is fast enough that doing it second costs almost nothing and doing it first costs the draft.

Nothing app-specific. macOS system dictation works, as does any tool that types into the focused window.
Yes — sharing does not change how text is entered.
Craft's platform support varies; where there is a text field, a system-level tool types into it.
You can try this on the free plan — 100 minutes a month, no card, no trial countdown.
