Moodle is self-hosted and endlessly customisable, and every course still needs writing. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in Moodle exactly where your cursor was.

Moodle's editor varies by installation and theme, and some versions handle pasted or injected formatting unpredictably. Dictate plain prose.
