Voice typing in Freshservice

IT service management runs on tickets that assume knowledge nobody wrote down. Typally types what you say straight into Freshservice — hold a key, talk, let go — so you can dictate anywhere Freshservice lets you type.

We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where Freshservice has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.

Does Freshservice have built-in dictation?

None for composing replies and notes.

Why dictate in Freshservice at all?

Internal IT supports every department and is expected to remember every system. The institutional knowledge lives in a handful of long-serving people, and the moment they leave, the tickets become unanswerable.

In practice people use it for: Ticket replies, resolution notes, solution articles, change descriptions, and asset notes.

How to dictate in Freshservice

Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside Freshservice:

1

Start with the install

Windows or macOS build, signed in once.

2

Open Freshservice and click where you want the text

Put the cursor in the field you are about to fill — Freshservice decides where the text lands, not Typally.

3

Hold the hotkey and talk

Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.

4

Read it before you move on

Public replies and private notes sit close together. Check which one has focus.

What Typally adds in Freshservice

Typally types into ticket replies, resolution notes and solution articles, so the institutional knowledge that lives in two long-serving people can actually be written down. A resolution note spoken while resolving takes seconds; the same note promised for later never gets written at all.

What this looks like in practice

An IT lead about to leave a company spends her last week dictating solution articles for the forty things only she knew. Her replacement inherits documentation instead of folklore.

One habit that makes it work better

Dictate the solution article while resolving the ticket rather than promising to write it later. Later does not arrive.

What to watch out for in Freshservice

Public replies and private notes sit close together. Check which one has focus.

Frequently asked questions

Does Freshservice have dictation?

No. Composing is typed throughout.

Where does the most value sit?

The solution article. It converts one resolved ticket into every future ticket resolved faster.

Can I dictate change request descriptions?

Yes, and detailed change descriptions tend to move through approval faster than terse ones.
