Payroll is numbers, and the writing around it is policy nobody has time for. Hold a key and talk: Typally transcribes and types it into Gusto without you touching the keyboard.
This is a vendor guide from the makers of Typally. Anything we say about Gusto is worth verifying — third-party features change without notice.None. Notes and policy fields are typed.
Small businesses run payroll in Gusto and postpone everything written that surrounds it — handbooks, leave policies, offer letter language. The gap surfaces at the worst moment, usually when someone disputes something.
In practice people use it for: Company policies, handbook sections, offer letter text, and employee-facing announcements.
Nothing changes inside Gusto itself. Typally sits in the tray and types into the focused window:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
The cursor position is the whole instruction — Gusto routes the keystrokes from there.
Push to talk, say your piece, release to transcribe.
