Does Framer have built-in dictation?

AI features for generating layouts and copy. No dictation.

Why dictate in Framer at all?

Framer collapses design and publishing, which means whatever text is in the design is what ships. Placeholder copy that would have been replaced by a copywriter goes live instead.

In practice people use it for: Page copy, CMS collection items, SEO descriptions, and the alt text nobody writes.

How to dictate in Framer

Nothing changes inside Framer itself. Typally sits in the tray and types into the focused window:

1

Set Typally up once

One install, one sign-in. Nothing else to configure.

2

Put the cursor in the Framer field you are filling

The cursor position is the whole instruction — Framer routes the keystrokes from there.

3

Press and speak

Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.

4

Read it before you move on

Selecting the wrong layer means dictated text replaces its content. Confirm the selection first.

What Typally adds in Framer

Typally types into Framer's text layers and CMS fields, so writing the copy first becomes the path of least resistance. Its cleanup pass means what lands is publishable prose rather than a transcript you would rewrite anyway.

What this looks like in practice

A designer speaks all the copy for a five-page site before opening the canvas. The layout is built to fit real sentences, and the client's review comes back with wording tweaks rather than a redesign.

One habit that makes it work better

Speak the copy before you design the page. A layout built around real sentences fits them; a layout built around lorem never quite does.

What to watch out for in Framer

Selecting the wrong layer means dictated text replaces its content. Confirm the selection first.

Frequently asked questions

Does Framer have voice input?

No. Its AI generates copy; entry is typed.

Can I dictate into Framer's CMS?

Yes — collection fields are ordinary text inputs.

Should I write copy first or design first?

Copy first, if the design has to hold real sentences. Which it does, since Framer publishes it.
