Document management systems hold the file; somebody still has to write what is in it. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere iManage accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where iManage has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.Document management, search and workspace organisation. Not an authoring tool with speech input.
Large firms store enormous volumes of documents and then rely on metadata and descriptions to find them again. Those descriptions are written by whoever filed the document, quickly, and their quality determines whether anything is findable in three years.
In practice people use it for: Document descriptions, file notes, matter summaries, and the handover memo when a matter moves teams.
Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside iManage:
Windows or macOS, then sign in. No card for the free tier.
Put the cursor in the field you are about to fill — iManage decides where the text lands, not Typally.
Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.
Confidential client material in a regulated firm carries strict handling rules. Typally sends audio to a third-party service — that needs sign-off from whoever owns your firm's information security policy.
Typally types into document descriptions, matter summaries and handover memos, so what gets written when a document is filed is a real description rather than a filename. Confidential client material in a regulated firm needs sign-off first — audio is transcribed by a third-party service, which your information security policy may have views about.
A matter moves between offices and the outgoing partner dictates a three-paragraph handover memo instead of the usual one-line email. The receiving team bills fewer hours getting up to speed, which the client notices.
Dictate a real description when you file a document. Two spoken sentences beat a filename, and filenames are what most documents get instead.

No. It manages documents rather than authoring them.
Document descriptions, matter summaries and handover memos — all prose that decides whether the archive stays usable.
That is your information security team's decision, not ours. Ask before using any tool that transmits audio externally.
