Dictate in any app · Media
Music projects accumulate notes about takes, settings and intentions that nobody records. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere Logic Pro accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
From the people who build Typally. If Logic Pro's own option covers your use, use it — this page will tell you when it does.None. Track and marker names are typed.
Coming back to a session after two months, the difference between a usable project and an archaeology exercise is whether tracks and markers were named meaningfully. Naming forty tracks takes time you would rather spend playing.
In practice people use it for: Track and marker names, session notes, lyric drafts, and notes for collaborators.
Setup happens once, outside Logic Pro, and then applies to every program on the machine:
Windows or macOS, then sign in. No card for the free tier.
Whatever has the cursor receives the text, so click the right place in Logic Pro before starting.
Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
Logic's shortcuts are extensive and single-key. Ensure a naming field is active before speaking.
Typally types into Logic's naming fields and into whatever you keep session notes in. The practical win is small and repeated: naming things properly stops costing enough to skip, which is what makes a project survive a two-month gap.
A producer names every marker with an intention rather than a number. Returning to the session in March, the work resumes in ten minutes instead of an hour of listening back.
Name markers with intent — 'chorus, needs new vocal' rather than 'Marker 7'. Future you opens the session with no memory whatsoever.
Logic's shortcuts are extensive and single-key. Ensure a naming field is active before speaking.
No app feature; macOS system dictation reaches its text fields.
Markers and takes. Those are what you navigate by when you return to a session cold.
Yes, into a notes app — and speaking lyrics in rhythm exposes meter problems immediately.
