Voice typing in Klaviyo

Klaviyo segments beautifully, and the segments still need something worth saying. Hold a key and talk: Typally transcribes and types it into Klaviyo without you touching the keyboard.

Yes, we build Typally. That is also why the section on Klaviyo's built-in option is honest: people who switch after trying both are the ones who stay.

In short

  • Klaviyo's own dictation: AI copy generation features.

  • Best used for: flow email copy

Does Klaviyo have built-in dictation?

AI copy generation features. No dictation.

Why dictate in Klaviyo at all?

E-commerce marketers build precise segments — browsed but did not buy, bought once, lapsed ninety days — and then send them all the same discount code, because writing distinct copy for each is a bigger job than building the segments was.

In practice people use it for: Flow email copy, campaign text, SMS copy, and the product-specific detail in an abandoned cart email.

How to dictate in Klaviyo

There is no Klaviyo extension or add-in involved — Typally behaves like a very fast keyboard:

1

Get Typally running

Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.

2

Put the cursor in the Klaviyo field you are filling

Click first. Typally types into Klaviyo wherever the caret already is, with no idea what that field is for.

3

Hold, say it, release

Nothing truncates part-way through.

4

Read it before you move on

SMS has hard character limits. Dictate longer, then cut to length.

What Typally adds in Klaviyo

Typally types into flow emails, campaign copy and SMS fields, so writing genuinely different copy per segment becomes practical rather than theoretical. Segmentation without differentiated messaging changes nothing for the recipient, and typing is the reason most flows send the same email to everyone.

What this looks like in practice

A store's abandoned cart flow, previously one generic email, becomes three written for different reasons people hesitate — price, sizing, delivery time. Each was dictated in a few minutes and they perform differently, which is the point.

One habit that makes it work better

Write the abandoned cart email as if speaking to someone who genuinely hesitated, and say something about the actual product. Generic urgency is what makes those emails ignorable.

What to watch out for in Klaviyo

SMS has hard character limits. Dictate longer, then cut to length.

Frequently asked questions

Does Klaviyo have voice input?

No. Its AI generates copy; composing is typed.

What makes flow emails work?

Copy that reflects why that segment exists. Identical copy across segments wastes the segmentation.

Can I dictate SMS copy?

Yes, though you will need to trim — SMS limits are tight.
