Deployments are cheap, and the note explaining a rollback is what you need at 2am. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in Vercel exactly where your cursor was.
From the people who build Typally. If Vercel's own option covers your use, use it — this page will tell you when it does.None. Project settings, environment variable descriptions and notes are typed.
Environment variables accumulate without explanation. Six months later nobody knows whether a variable is still used, so it stays forever, and the one that should be rotated never is.
In practice people use it for: Deployment notes, environment variable descriptions, project README content, and incident notes after a bad deploy.
You do not configure anything in Vercel. The hotkey works wherever your cursor happens to be:
Windows or macOS, then sign in. No card for the free tier.
The cursor position is the whole instruction — Vercel routes the keystrokes from there.
Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
Environment variable values are secrets — never dictate a credential through a transcription service.
Typally types into deployment notes and environment variable descriptions, so undocumented configuration stops accumulating. One firm rule: never dictate a secret or credential — audio goes to a transcription service, so describe what a variable is for, never what it contains.
A team documents what each of its thirty-one environment variables actually does, spoken in twenty minutes. Nine turn out to be unused and are removed, including two that held credentials nobody had rotated since the project started.
Describe what each environment variable is for as you add it. Undocumented configuration is the reason nobody dares clean anything up.
Environment variable values are secrets — never dictate a credential through a transcription service.
No. Dashboard fields are typed.
No. Never speak a secret or credential through a cloud transcription service. Describe what the variable is for, not what it contains.
Yes, and notes on why a deploy was rolled back are worth writing while you still remember.
