Dictate in any app · Social
Reddit rewards long, detailed comments — exactly the writing typing discourages. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in Reddit exactly where your cursor was.
From the people who build Typally. If Reddit's own option covers your use, use it — this page will tell you when it does.None. The composer has no speech input on any platform.
A good Reddit answer is three paragraphs with specifics. A typed answer is often one line, because the person weighed ten minutes of typing against internet points and stopped. The long answers are the ones that get awarded and quoted for years.
In practice people use it for: Detailed comments, question posts with proper context, AMA answers, and long replies in niche subreddits.
You do not configure anything in Reddit. The hotkey works wherever your cursor happens to be:
One install, one sign-in. Nothing else to configure.
The cursor position is the whole instruction — Reddit routes the keystrokes from there.
Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.
Reddit's editor uses markdown, so dictated asterisks, hashes and dashes turn into formatting. Dictate plain prose and format afterwards.
Typally types into the comment and post editors, so the three-paragraph answer only you can write costs about as long as saying it. Reddit rewards conversational writing and punishes marketing language, which suits dictated prose. Dictate plain text and add the markdown afterwards.
Someone with fifteen years in a trade sees a question they can genuinely answer. Typed, they would have written two lines. Spoken, they give the full explanation — the common mistake, the reason it happens, what to do instead — and it becomes the top comment.
Answer as if explaining to a friend, out loud, then edit for the subreddit's tone. Reddit punishes marketing language and rewards the way people actually talk.

No. Its composers are plain text or markdown fields with no speech input.
Usually the opposite — Reddit prefers conversational writing to polished corporate prose.
Yes. Both are ordinary text fields; click into each one before speaking.
