Dictate in any app · Notes
Logseq is local-first and outliner-shaped, which suits dictated capture well. Hold a key and talk: Typally transcribes and types it into Logseq without you touching the keyboard.
Disclosure: Typally is our product. We have tried to describe what Logseq already does without talking you out of using it.None. Blocks are typed markdown.
Outliners reward small, atomic entries, and small entries are exactly what typing makes not worth the effort. The result is a journal with three bullets a day when it should have thirty.
In practice people use it for: Journal entries, atomic notes, task capture with context, and reading notes.
You do not configure anything in Logseq. The hotkey works wherever your cursor happens to be:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Text goes wherever Logseq has focus. One click first saves undoing a paragraph in the wrong box.
Push to talk, say your piece, release to transcribe.
Logseq is markdown-based and interprets dashes, brackets and hashes as structure. Dictate plain sentences.
Typally types complete sentences into blocks, which is what makes a Logseq journal readable later — fragments are fast to type and useless in eight months. Your notes stay in local markdown files; the audio is what passes through a transcription service on its way to becoming text.
A developer keeping an engineering journal in Logseq speaks each entry as a full sentence rather than a fragment. When a similar bug appears eight months later, the journal is searchable and comprehensible instead of cryptic.
One thought per block, spoken as a complete sentence. Fragments are quick to type and useless later; complete sentences survive.

No. Blocks are typed.
In local markdown files on your machine. The transcription service sees the audio; the notes themselves stay where you put them.
The text yes, but date syntax is easier typed than spoken.
