Raycast is built to remove friction from everything, which makes typing the outlier. Hold a key and talk: Typally transcribes and types it into Raycast without you touching the keyboard.
Written by the team behind Typally. Raycast's own features are described as accurately as we can — check them yourself before switching anything.Extensions exist for many things, including AI features. Speech input depends on what you install.
Raycast users optimise every interaction to a keystroke. The remaining slow part is anything requiring actual words — a note, an AI prompt, a snippet — and that is unavoidably typed.
In practice people use it for: Quick notes, AI prompts through its assistant, snippet creation, and capture into connected tools.

Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
Raycast's window takes focus when summoned and dismisses easily. Confirm the input is focused before speaking.
Typally pairs naturally with Raycast: Raycast makes the capture surface appear instantly, Typally fills it in a few seconds. Together the friction between having a thought and having it written drops to roughly nothing, which is what both tools are for. Confirm the input has focus before speaking.
Someone who lives in Raycast summons a note window and speaks into it in under five seconds total. The capture friction drops to roughly zero, which is the point of both tools.

Raycast's window takes focus when summoned and dismisses easily. Confirm the input is focused before speaking.
Through extensions in some cases. A system-level tool works regardless of what you have installed.
Yes — its prompt input is a text field.
Very. Raycast makes the surface appear instantly; dictation fills it in a few seconds.
