Dictate in any app · Database
Firebase projects get built quickly and configured in places nobody documents. Typally types what you say straight into Firebase — hold a key, talk, let go — so you can dictate anywhere Firebase lets you type.
From the people who build Typally. If Firebase's own option covers your use, use it — this page will tell you when it does.None. Console fields and rules files are typed.
Security rules, cloud functions and configuration accumulate across a project's life. The console does not encourage explanation, so the reasoning behind a rule lives in a Slack message from two years ago.
In practice people use it for: Security rules comments, cloud function documentation, README setup instructions, and release notes.
Setup happens once, outside Firebase, and then applies to every program on the machine:
Grab the build for your platform and create an account.
Whatever has the cursor receives the text, so click the right place in Firebase before starting.
The recording lasts exactly as long as you do.
Rules files are symbol-dense and syntax-sensitive. Dictate the comments only.
Typally types into your editor and the Firebase console equally, so the comment explaining which data leak a security rule prevents gets written when you write the rule. Dictate the comment text and type the rule itself — rules files are syntax-sensitive and not something to speak freehand.
A rule that blocked an apparently harmless read gets a spoken comment explaining the data leak it prevents. The next developer who hits the restriction routes around it properly instead of deleting it.
Comment security rules with the scenario they prevent. A rule stated abstractly gets removed by whoever it inconveniences.
Rules files are symbol-dense and syntax-sensitive. Dictate the comments only.
No. The console and rules editor are typed.
Security rules. They are the part people modify without understanding and the part with the worst failure mode.
The doc comments, yes. The code itself is faster typed.
Free plan: 100 minutes of dictation a month, no card. Pro is $7.99/month if you want more.
