Tana's supertags structure your notes, and the notes still have to be written. Typally puts your words into Tana the moment you release the key, in whichever field you left the cursor.
This is a vendor guide from the makers of Typally. Anything we say about Tana is worth verifying — third-party features change without notice.AI features for structuring and generating content.
Tana rewards structured capture with genuinely powerful queries. But structure applied to thin content returns thin results, and typing is what keeps captures thin.
In practice people use it for: Daily notes, structured captures, meeting notes with attendees and actions, and project documentation.
There is no Tana extension or add-in involved — Typally behaves like a very fast keyboard:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Make sure Tana has the cursor in the intended field; that is the only thing that decides where words appear.
The recording lasts exactly as long as you do.
Tana's node structure responds to characters including hashes and brackets, so dictated punctuation can create tags or references.
Typally types into Tana's nodes so capture happens at speaking speed and structuring happens after. In a tool this powerful at querying, the binding constraint is always how much content actually made it in.
Someone whose Tana graph was elegantly structured and nearly empty starts speaking into the daily note first. The structure arrives afterwards, and the queries finally have something to return.
Speak the content and apply supertags afterwards. Structuring while composing interrupts the thought that made the note worth capturing.

Its AI generates and structures; capture is typed.
Capture first, structure after. Deciding structure mid-thought is what stops the capture.
Yes, and the daily note is the natural place for unstructured spoken capture.
