Dictate in any app · Legal
Small firms run on MyCase, and small firms have nobody to delegate typing to. Typally types what you say straight into MyCase — hold a key, talk, let go — so you can dictate anywhere MyCase lets you type.
Disclosure: Typally is our product. We have tried to describe what MyCase already does without talking you out of using it.Case management, billing and document handling. No native dictation.
A solo or small-firm practitioner is the fee earner, the administrator and the marketing department. Every hour spent typing a note is an hour not billed, and the notes still have to be good enough to defend.
In practice people use it for: Case notes, client updates, time entry narratives, letters, and intake summaries.
You do not configure anything in MyCase. The hotkey works wherever your cursor happens to be:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Text goes wherever MyCase has focus. One click first saves undoing a paragraph in the wrong box.
Nothing truncates part-way through.
Client confidentiality is a professional duty. Typally sends audio to a third-party service for transcription — assess that against your obligations and your firm's policy before using it on matter content.
Typally types into case notes, client updates and time entry narratives, so the Friday update on every active matter costs twenty minutes rather than an afternoon. Client confidentiality is a professional duty: audio is transcribed by a third-party service, so weigh that against your obligations before dictating matter content.
A solo practitioner sends a two-paragraph update on every active matter each Friday afternoon, dictated in twenty minutes total. Client complaints about communication, previously the main source of grumbling, stop entirely.
Dictate the client update email the moment something happens on the file. Proactive updates are the single largest driver of client satisfaction and the first thing that slips when you are busy.

Technically yes, with a system-level tool. Whether you should dictate confidential client matter through a third-party transcription service is a professional judgement you need to make first.
No. It is a practice management system; dictation comes from a separate product.
Firm marketing, website copy, internal precedents and general legal content with no client identifiers.
