Dictate in any app · Support
Everything written in PagerDuty is read by someone half asleep and under pressure. Typally types what you say straight into PagerDuty — hold a key, talk, let go — so you can dictate anywhere PagerDuty lets you type.
Yes, we build Typally. That is also why the section on PagerDuty's built-in option is honest: people who switch after trying both are the ones who stay.None. Incident notes, postmortems and service descriptions are typed.
Incident response is the worst possible time to type. You are diagnosing, coordinating and communicating at once, and the notes that would make the postmortem useful are the first thing dropped.
In practice people use it for: Incident notes during response, status updates to stakeholders, postmortem narratives, and escalation policy documentation.
There is no PagerDuty extension or add-in involved — Typally behaves like a very fast keyboard:

Click first. Typally types into PagerDuty wherever the caret already is, with no idea what that field is for.
The recording lasts exactly as long as you do.
During an incident you may be on a bridge call with your microphone live. Mute before using push-to-talk dictation.
Typally types incident notes as the incident unfolds, which is the only way a timeline stays accurate — memory reorders events within hours. Mute yourself first if you are on an incident bridge, since push-to-talk dictation will otherwise be heard by everyone on the call.
An engineer narrates the timeline into the incident as it unfolds — what was observed, what was tried, what changed. The postmortem is written from facts rather than from four people's conflicting recollections.
Dictate incident notes as you go rather than reconstructing afterwards. A timeline written live is accurate; one written the next morning is a story.

No. Notes and postmortems are typed.
Because the timeline is the postmortem's evidence, and memory reorders events within hours.
Only if you mute first — otherwise the bridge hears your dictation.
