Does Whereby have built-in dictation?

None for text. It is a video tool.

Why dictate in Whereby at all?

Freelancers and small agencies use Whereby for client calls precisely because it needs no install. What it also has no support for is the follow-up email that turns a call into an agreed scope.

In practice people use it for: In-call chat, post-call follow-up email, scope confirmations, and meeting notes.

How to dictate in Whereby

There is no Whereby extension or add-in involved — Typally behaves like a very fast keyboard:

1

Install Typally

Windows or macOS, then sign in. No card for the free tier.

2

Put the cursor in the Whereby field you are filling

Make sure Whereby has the cursor in the intended field; that is the only thing that decides where words appear.

3

Press and speak

Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.

4

Read it before you move on

Your microphone is live in the room. Mute before dictating if the call is still running.

What Typally adds in Whereby

Typally types the follow-up into your email client in the minutes after a call, which is when the details are still exact. For a freelancer, that summary is the cheapest scope protection available and it costs two minutes of talking.

What this looks like in practice

A freelancer sends a spoken-then-edited summary after every client call. When a client later remembers the scope differently, the email from the day settles it in one reply.

One habit that makes it work better

Send a written summary of what was agreed after every client call. It costs two spoken minutes and prevents most scope disputes.

Frequently asked questions

Does Whereby have transcription?

It is a lightweight video tool without transcription as a core feature.

Why summarise client calls in writing?

Because verbal agreements are remembered differently by each party. A written summary settles it cheaply.

Can I dictate in the room chat?

Yes, though mute yourself first if you are still connected.
