Voice typing in Deel

Hiring across borders means writing contracts, scopes and policies for each jurisdiction. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in Deel exactly where your cursor was.

Yes, we build Typally. That is also why the section on Deel's built-in option is honest: people who switch after trying both are the ones who stay.

In short

  • Deel's own dictation: None. Scope descriptions, contract text and notes are typed.
  • What Typally does instead: puts text wherever the cursor is, in Deel or in anything else you have open.
  • Best used for: scope of work descriptions

Does Deel have built-in dictation?

None. Scope descriptions, contract text and notes are typed.

Why dictate in Deel at all?

A distributed team means every contractor has a scope of work, and vague scopes cause disputes about deliverables months later. Writing a precise one takes real effort per person.

In practice people use it for: Scope of work descriptions, contractor onboarding notes, policy documents, and internal role definitions.

How to dictate in Deel

There is no Deel extension or add-in involved — Typally behaves like a very fast keyboard:

2

Click into the right box in Deel first

Click first. Typally types into Deel wherever the caret already is, with no idea what that field is for.

3

Talk while holding the key

The recording lasts exactly as long as you do.

4

Read it before you move on

Employment and contractor data is personal and regulated. Keep individual details out of anything transcribed by a third-party service.

What Typally adds in Deel

Typally types into Deel's scope and note fields, so writing a precise scope for each contractor stops being the corner that gets cut. Keep it to template and role language rather than individual personal data.

What this looks like in practice

A company hiring six contractors across four countries speaks a proper scope for each rather than reusing one paragraph. Two disputes that would have arisen from ambiguity simply never happen.

One habit that makes it work better

Describe the deliverable and what 'done' looks like. Vague scopes are the root of nearly every contractor dispute.

What to watch out for in Deel

Employment and contractor data is personal and regulated. Keep individual details out of anything transcribed by a third-party service.

Frequently asked questions

Does Deel have dictation?

No. All fields are typed.

What belongs in a scope of work?

The deliverable, the acceptance criteria and what is out of scope. Ambiguity here is expensive.

Is it safe to dictate contractor details?

Treat personal data carefully — audio is processed by a third party. Template language is fine; individual details deserve more thought.
