Go's culture expects doc comments on exported identifiers, which is a lot of prose. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in GoLand exactly where your cursor was.
This is a vendor guide from the makers of Typally. Anything we say about GoLand is worth verifying — third-party features change without notice.None. Text entry is typed.
Go conventions require a doc comment starting with the identifier's name on everything exported. Following that convention properly across a package is real writing, so most comments end up restating the function name.
In practice people use it for: Doc comments, commit messages, package documentation, design notes, and pull request descriptions.
Nothing changes inside GoLand itself. Typally sits in the tray and types into the focused window:
Grab the build for your platform and create an account.
The cursor position is the whole instruction — GoLand routes the keystrokes from there.
The recording lasts exactly as long as you do.
Go doc comments have conventions about their first word. Dictate the body and adjust the opening by hand.
Typally types into doc comments and the commit dialog, with custom vocabulary keeping package and interface names intact. Because it works at the keyboard level, the same key also covers the GitHub pull request you write immediately afterwards — one habit rather than a per-tool feature hunt.
A team adopts a rule that every exported function gets a spoken sentence about its error behaviour. Six months on, the package is used by another team without a single clarifying message.
Write what the function guarantees and what it does not, rather than what it is called. The name is already there; the contract is what readers need.

No. It has no dictation feature.
The contract — what it guarantees, what it errors on, what it assumes. Restating the name adds nothing.
You can, but a terminal executes what it receives. Prefer the editor.
You can try this on the free plan — 100 minutes a month, no card, no trial countdown.
