Dictate in any app · Clinical
Therapists write progress notes after every session, and the writing outlasts the session. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in SimplePractice exactly where your cursor was.
This is a vendor guide from the makers of Typally. Anything we say about SimplePractice is worth verifying — third-party features change without notice.Note templates and structured formats. Dictation depends on what the practitioner adds themselves.
A therapist seeing seven clients a day owes seven progress notes. Written between sessions there is no time; written at the end of the day they are vague, which is exactly when they are least defensible.
In practice people use it for: Progress notes, treatment plans, intake summaries, and the administrative side of a private practice.
There is no SimplePractice extension or add-in involved — Typally behaves like a very fast keyboard:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Make sure SimplePractice has the cursor in the intended field; that is the only thing that decides where words appear.
Push to talk, say your piece, release to transcribe.
Typally is not HIPAA-certified and audio goes to a third-party transcription service. Client session content must not be dictated with it. A solo practitioner is still a covered entity.
Typally suits the business side of a private practice — website copy, intake FAQs, referral emails, supervision reflections written without identifying details. It is not HIPAA-certified and audio goes to a third-party transcription service, so client session content has to stay in tools covered by a business associate agreement.
A therapist rewrites her entire website and her intake FAQ by voice in one evening — nine pages that had been half-finished since she started the practice. Session notes stay in the systems approved for them.
Whatever tool you use, write the note in the ten minutes after the session rather than at the end of the day. Recall degrades faster than most practitioners expect.
