Dictate in any app · Project
Jira tickets are bad because writing them is tedious — dictation removes the reason to be terse. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere Jira accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
Yes, we build Typally. That is also why the section on Jira's built-in option is honest: people who switch after trying both are the ones who stay.Nothing. Jira's description field is a rich-text editor with no speech input of its own.
Everyone knows a good ticket has reproduction steps, expected behaviour and context. Everyone writes 'login broken' anyway, because the full version costs five minutes of typing. The cost is paid later by whoever picks it up.
In practice people use it for: Bug reports with real reproduction steps, story descriptions with acceptance criteria, comments explaining why an approach was rejected, and status updates that save a standup.
There is no Jira extension or add-in involved — Typally behaves like a very fast keyboard:
One install, one sign-in. Nothing else to configure.
Click first. Typally types into Jira wherever the caret already is, with no idea what that field is for.
Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
Jira's editor turns certain characters into formatting as you type, so a dictated dash or bracket can start a list or a macro. Dictate prose, format afterwards.
Typally types into the description and comment fields, so the ticket says what you would have said out loud to whoever picks it up — reproduction steps, what you already tried, what you expected. The cleanup pass makes that readable, and dictate prose rather than list markers, since Jira's editor converts them.
A tester hits a bug at the end of the day. Typed, the ticket says 'checkout fails sometimes'. Dictated, it says which browser, which account, what she had done in the ten minutes before, what she expected, what happened, and that clearing the cart made it go away. The developer reproduces it in five minutes instead of asking three follow-up questions across two days.
Dictate the ticket as if explaining it out loud to the person who will fix it, including what you already tried. That is exactly the content a good ticket needs and exactly what typing discourages.

No. The description and comment fields are ordinary rich-text editors with no built-in dictation.
Yes. Click into the comment box first — a system-level tool types wherever the cursor is.
On a phone, the keyboard microphone already covers it. Desktop is where a separate tool is needed.
