Time entries with vague narratives get written down or written off. Typally puts your words into PracticePanther the moment you release the key, in whichever field you left the cursor.
Written by the team behind Typally. PracticePanther's own features are described as accurately as we can — check them yourself before switching anything.Time tracking, billing and matter management. Dictation is not included.
A time entry saying 'review documents' invites a client to query it. The entry describing which documents, why, and what came of it survives scrutiny — and takes four times as long to type, which is why nobody writes it at 6pm.
In practice people use it for: Time entry narratives, matter notes, client communication, and task descriptions.
Because Typally types at the system level rather than plugging into PracticePanther, setup is the same everywhere:
Windows or macOS, then sign in. No card for the free tier.
Make sure PracticePanther has the cursor in the intended field; that is the only thing that decides where words appear.
Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.
Dictating client matter through any third-party service is a confidentiality decision. Typally transmits audio externally — check your obligations first.
Typally types into time entry narratives and matter notes, so the detailed contemporaneous entry becomes the easy option rather than the one you skip at six o'clock. Dictating client matter through a third-party transcription service is a confidentiality decision to make before you start, not after.
A litigator switches from writing time entries at the end of the day to speaking each one as the task closes. The narratives get specific, and the monthly write-off conversation with the billing partner gets shorter.
Dictate the narrative as you close each task rather than reconstructing the day at the end of it. Contemporaneous entries bill better and dispute better.

No. It handles practice management; dictation is separate.
Detailed contemporaneous narratives are harder to challenge than vague ones. What that is worth depends on your clients and jurisdiction — we are not going to put a number on it.
Consider it carefully. Audio goes to a third-party transcription service, which is a disclosure your professional rules may treat as significant.
The free plan gives you 100 minutes a month without a card — enough to find out whether talking beats typing for you.
