Voice typing in Webflow

Webflow makes the site look right, and the copy inside it is still typed by hand. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in Webflow exactly where your cursor was.

  • Best used for: page copy

Does Webflow have built-in dictation?

None. Text elements, CMS fields and SEO settings are typed.

Why dictate in Webflow at all?

Designers ship beautiful Webflow sites with placeholder-quality words, because writing happens last, when the enthusiasm has gone into the layout. Copy decides conversion far more than the layout does.

In practice people use it for: Page copy, CMS collection items, blog posts, meta descriptions, and the alt text nobody writes.

How to dictate in Webflow

Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside Webflow:

1

Set Typally up once

One install, one sign-in. Nothing else to configure.

2

In Webflow, click the field before you speak

Whatever has the cursor receives the text, so click the right place in Webflow before starting.

3

Hold the hotkey and talk

Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.

4

Read it before you move on

Editing text on canvas puts you in a specific element. Dictating with the wrong element selected replaces its content — check the selection first.

What Typally adds in Webflow

Typally types into the designer's text elements and CMS collection fields, though the better workflow is to speak the copy before you build the page. Designing around real sentences produces a better layout than pouring words into a design that expected different ones. Check the selection first, since dictating replaces the selected element's content.

What this looks like in practice

A freelancer building a client site talks through all seven pages of copy in half an hour before opening the designer. The layout then gets built around real sentences, and the client's review comes back with two changes instead of a rewrite.

One habit that makes it work better

Dictate the copy before you build the page. Designing around real words produces a better layout than pouring words into a design that expected different ones.

What to watch out for in Webflow
