Dictate in any app · Commerce
Patreon runs on regular posts, and the reason creators lapse is that posting is writing. Hold a key and talk: Typally transcribes and types it into Patreon without you touching the keyboard.
We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where Patreon has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.None. Posts, tier descriptions and messages are typed.
Patrons pay for a relationship maintained through updates. Missing a month is not a content problem, it is a writing problem, and creators who are makers rather than writers feel it hardest.
In practice people use it for: Patron posts and updates, tier descriptions, welcome messages, and replies to comments.
Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside Patreon:
One install, one sign-in. Nothing else to configure.
Put the cursor in the field you are about to fill — Patreon decides where the text lands, not Typally.
Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
Patreon's editor handles formatting inconsistently across post types. Dictate plain prose and format afterwards.
Typally types into the post editor, so a weekly update costs six minutes rather than an evening. Patrons subscribed to a person, and spoken updates keep the person visible in a way that carefully typed ones tend to hide. Missed posts are a writing problem, which is the problem this removes.
A creator who had gone three months without posting starts speaking a weekly update instead of typing one. The updates take six minutes each, and the lapsed-patron rate stops climbing.
Dictate the update the way you would tell a friend what you have been working on. Patrons subscribed to a person, and formal writing hides the person.

No. Posts and descriptions are typed.
Whatever you can sustain. The reason schedules slip is usually the writing effort, which is the part dictation changes.
Yes, and tiers described in plain language convert better than feature lists.
There is a permanent free tier of 100 minutes a month. Pro costs $7.99/month and raises the limit.
