Voice typing in Wix

Wix gets a small business online quickly, and then the text boxes sit empty for months. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere Wix accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.

We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where Wix has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.

In short

  • Wix's own dictation: AI text generation in the editor.
  • What Typally does instead: types into the focused window, so it works in Wix and everywhere else you write.
  • Best used for: homepage and service copy

Does Wix have built-in dictation?

AI text generation in the editor. No speech input.

Why dictate in Wix at all?

Wix removes every technical obstacle to having a website, which leaves exactly one obstacle: someone has to write the words. Generated copy fills the gap with sentences that could describe any business in the category.

In practice people use it for: Homepage and service copy, blog posts, booking descriptions, and replies to enquiries through the Wix inbox.

How to dictate in Wix

Setup happens once, outside Wix, and then applies to every program on the machine:

1

Set Typally up once

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

2

Open Wix and click where you want the text

Text goes wherever Wix has focus. One click first saves undoing a paragraph in the wrong box.

3

Hold the hotkey and talk

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

4

Read it before you move on

The Wix editor is drag-and-drop with absolutely positioned text boxes. Click into the specific box before dictating or the text goes elsewhere.

What Typally adds in Wix

Typally types into Wix's editor text boxes, so describing your business the way you would at a party takes ten minutes rather than staying as stock copy for a year. Click into the specific box first — the editor is drag-and-drop with absolutely positioned text, and dictation follows the cursor.

What this looks like in practice

A plumber's site has had the same three lines of stock text since it launched. Ten minutes of talking — what he does, which areas, what he charges call-out for, why he does not do emergencies — replaces it with something no competitor's site says.

One habit that makes it work better

Describe your business the way you would to someone who asked at a party. That description is specific, short and true, which is three things generated copy is not.

What to watch out for in Wix

The Wix editor is drag-and-drop with absolutely positioned text boxes. Click into the specific box before dictating or the text goes elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Does Wix have voice typing?

No. The editor offers AI-generated text, not transcription of your speech.

Can I dictate into the Wix blog?

Yes. The blog editor is an ordinary rich-text field.

Is dictated copy better than Wix's AI copy?

For anything specific to your business, usually yes — the AI does not know your customers.
