GCP projects sprawl, and the description fields that would explain them stay empty. Typally puts your words into Google Cloud Console the moment you release the key, in whichever field you left the cursor.
From the people who build Typally. If Google Cloud Console's own option covers your use, use it — this page will tell you when it does.None. Console text fields are typed.
Service accounts, firewall rules and buckets accumulate across a project's life. Each has a description field. An undocumented service account with broad permissions is the thing security reviews find and nobody can explain.
In practice people use it for: Resource descriptions, service account purposes, firewall rule notes, IAM justifications, and support cases.
Setup happens once, outside Google Cloud Console, and then applies to every program on the machine:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Whatever has the cursor receives the text, so click the right place in Google Cloud Console before starting.
Push to talk, say your piece, release to transcribe.
The console's forms vary between services and some fields have tight length limits. Check the text fits before moving on.
Typally types into the console's fields directly, so describing a resource happens when you create it rather than during an audit six months later. Because it needs no browser extension or permission grant, it introduces nothing for a cloud security team to assess.
Before a security review, a team spends an hour speaking descriptions onto every service account. Three turn out to have no owner at all and are disabled without incident.
Describe every service account with what it is for and which system uses it. That is the single most useful piece of documentation in a cloud project.

No. All text entry is typed.
What uses it and why it needs the permissions it has.
Those are structured syntax — type them, and dictate the description beside them.
The free plan gives you 100 minutes a month without a card — enough to find out whether talking beats typing for you.
