Dictate in any app · Support
Front puts shared inboxes and internal comments side by side, so context gets written twice. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere Front accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
From the people who build Typally. If Front's own option covers your use, use it — this page will tell you when it does.None. Replies, comments and drafts are typed.
Front's model is a team working one inbox together, which means every message carries an internal conversation alongside it. That is double the writing of a normal inbox, and the internal half is what gets skipped.
In practice people use it for: Customer replies, internal comments to teammates, draft handoffs, and the context note on an assigned conversation.
Setup happens once, outside Front, and then applies to every program on the machine:
Windows or macOS, then sign in. No card for the free tier.
Whatever has the cursor receives the text, so click the right place in Front before starting.
Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.
The comment box and the reply box sit in the same panel. Front distinguishes them visually, but confirm before speaking.
Typally types into both the customer reply and the internal comment, which is the half most often skipped in a shared inbox. Because it is one hotkey rather than an integration, it works the same in Front's desktop app and the web version, and there is nothing for an admin to install.
A conversation gets reassigned three times in a day. Because each handoff carries a spoken internal comment, the fourth person picks it up knowing what has been tried, instead of asking the customer to explain again.
Dictate the internal comment as well as the reply. The comment is what stops the next person repeating your work, and it is the one always left out.
The comment box and the reply box sit in the same panel. Front distinguishes them visually, but confirm before speaking.
No. Composing is typed in every part of the app.
Yes. Select the comment composer first — it is separate from the customer reply.
Yes, the same as the web version.
