Cloud document management makes filing easy and description writing no easier. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in NetDocuments exactly where your cursor was.
We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where NetDocuments has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.Document storage, security and workflow. No authoring speech input.
Search only works as well as what was written about a document when it was saved. Everyone knows this and nobody writes descriptions, because typing one is a tax on the act of filing.
In practice people use it for: Document profiles and descriptions, matter notes, workspace summaries, and audit annotations.
Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside NetDocuments:
Windows or macOS build, signed in once.
Put the cursor in the field you are about to fill — NetDocuments decides where the text lands, not Typally.
Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.
Regulated confidential material demands care. Typally sends audio to a third-party transcription service — confirm that is acceptable under your firm's policy before using it near client matter.
Typally types into document profiles and matter notes, so a document gets a real description saying what it is for rather than a filename. That description is what search relies on years later. Confirm your firm's policy first — audio passes through a third-party transcription service before becoming text.
A firm running a document review dictates a one-line purpose for each of two hundred filed documents over a morning. The following year, a related matter finds what it needs in minutes instead of commissioning a paralegal to hunt.
Say what the document is for, not what it is called. 'Second draft after the client's insurance point' finds it; 'Agreement v2' does not.

No. It is a document management platform, not an authoring tool.
They are what search relies on. A well-described document is findable years later; a badly named one is effectively lost.
Only with your compliance team's agreement, given audio leaves the machine.
You can try this on the free plan — 100 minutes a month, no card, no trial countdown.
