Pinterest is a search engine wearing a mood board, and search runs on text. Hold a key and talk: Typally transcribes and types it into Pinterest without you touching the keyboard.
Written by the team behind Typally. Pinterest's own features are described as accurately as we can — check them yourself before switching anything.None on the web. Mobile uses the phone keyboard's microphone.
Pins are found through their descriptions, and creators treat descriptions as an afterthought because the image feels like the product. Board descriptions are worse — almost universally empty.
In practice people use it for: Pin descriptions, board descriptions, profile text, and idea pin copy.
Because Typally types at the system level rather than plugging into Pinterest, setup is the same everywhere:
Grab the build for your platform and create an account.
Make sure Pinterest has the cursor in the intended field; that is the only thing that decides where words appear.
The recording lasts exactly as long as you do.
Description fields have length limits that vary by pin type. Dictate, then trim.
Typally types into Pinterest's description fields on the desktop site, where there is otherwise no voice option at all. Writing forty real descriptions becomes an afternoon of talking rather than a job that gets abandoned at pin twelve.
A small shop describes forty pins by saying what each product helps someone do rather than naming it. It takes an afternoon, and the descriptions finally give the platform something to match against.
Describe what the pin helps someone do, not what the image shows. People search Pinterest for outcomes, not for pictures.
Description fields have length limits that vary by pin type. Dictate, then trim.
Not on the web. Mobile relies on the phone keyboard's microphone.
They are how pins get found, since the platform functions largely as a search engine.
Yes, and they are the field most consistently left empty.
There is a permanent free tier of 100 minutes a month. Pro costs $7.99/month and raises the limit.
