Miro boards fill with three-word sticky notes that mean nothing a month later. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere Miro accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
Yes, we build Typally. That is also why the section on Miro's built-in option is honest: people who switch after trying both are the ones who stay.None. Sticky notes, text boxes and comments are typed.
Workshops move fast, so notes are short by necessity. The board looks full and productive on the day, and when someone opens it in March the stickies are unreadable fragments of a conversation nobody recorded.
In practice people use it for: Sticky notes with real content, comments, board documentation, and the summary text box that explains what a cluster means.
There is no Miro extension or add-in involved — Typally behaves like a very fast keyboard:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Click first. Typally types into Miro wherever the caret already is, with no idea what that field is for.
Push to talk, say your piece, release to transcribe.
Double-clicking the canvas creates a new sticky. Dictating after a misplaced click leaves text floating loose on the board.
Typally types into text boxes and comment threads, so the five minutes after a workshop can turn sixty cryptic stickies into a board someone who was not in the room can read. Open the text box first; double-clicking the canvas creates a new sticky and strands the text.
A two-hour workshop produces sixty stickies. In the five minutes after everyone leaves, the facilitator speaks one summary box per cluster. When the board is reopened for the follow-up, nobody has to reconstruct what 'trust??' meant.
After the workshop, add one dictated text box per cluster explaining what it was about. Five minutes of speech makes the board useful to people who were not in the room.
Double-clicking the canvas creates a new sticky. Dictating after a misplaced click leaves text floating loose on the board.
No. All text on a board is typed.
Yes. Open the comment thread and click into the box.
Better immediately after. During a session you are usually talking to the room already.
