Dictate in any app · Social
Snapchat is built for images, and its text is typed on a phone by design. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere Snapchat accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
Yes, we build Typally. That is also why the section on Snapchat's built-in option is honest: people who switch after trying both are the ones who stay.None on the desktop web version. Mobile uses the phone keyboard.
Snapchat's desktop presence is limited and its culture is visual and fast. Text is secondary, which is exactly why the occasional longer message stands out.
In practice people use it for: Chat messages on the web version, longer replies, and story captions.
Because Typally types at the system level rather than plugging into Snapchat, setup is the same everywhere:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Put the cursor in the field you are about to fill — Snapchat decides where the text lands, not Typally.
Push to talk, say your piece, release to transcribe.
Snapchat's messages are ephemeral by design. Anything worth keeping should go somewhere it will survive.
Typally types into the Snapchat web version, though it is worth being honest that this is not where most of the value is — Snapchat is a visual, ephemeral platform. Use it for the messages that carry real information, and put anything you will need later somewhere that keeps it.
Someone coordinating a group trip switches the actual logistics — times, addresses, who is driving — to a platform that keeps them, and leaves Snapchat for the photographs. Nobody misses a meeting point.
Reserve dictation for the messages that need to say something specific — plans, addresses, instructions — where a picture genuinely will not do.

There is a web version, which is where a desktop dictation tool would apply.
Not as a platform feature. On mobile it is the phone keyboard's microphone.
Messages are ephemeral by design, so anything you need later belongs somewhere else.
There is a permanent free tier of 100 minutes a month. Pro costs $7.99/month and raises the limit.
