The admin after the call
You finish a good call. The next ten minutes are typing: the CRM note, the recap email, the next steps. It is the work that gets pushed to the end of the day, when you remember less.
With Talkativ, you press Ctrl + Space on Windows, ⌥ Option + Space on a Mac, say what happened, and press it again. A few sentences land in the field, with punctuation and capital letters added. Say the note while it is fresh, and move on.
CRM notes in Salesforce and HubSpot
Click into the notes field, press the shortcut and talk through the call in plain English: who was there, what they care about, the objection, the budget, the timeline and the next step. Talkativ types it at the cursor.
With Advanced formatting on, “firstly, secondly, finally” becomes a numbered list, and amounts such as $4,000, dates and email addresses are written the usual way. That makes a list of next steps easy to scan. It is off by default, and every plan has it.
It works the same way in Gmail, Outlook, Slack and Microsoft Teams, so one habit covers your CRM and your inbox. Nothing needs setting up per tool, and nothing needs connecting to your CRM. Talkativ simply types where your cursor is, so it works with whichever system your company chose.
Follow-up emails sent while the call is fresh
A follow-up is best sent today. Open a reply, press the shortcut and say what you would say on the phone: “Thanks Marcus, great to speak, I’ll send over the proposal tomorrow with the options we discussed.” Read it, adjust it, send it.
It sounds like you, because it is you. Your wording stays, and Talkativ adds the punctuation. For a rewrite, Max includes Genius Mode: highlight a draft and say “make this shorter” or “make this friendlier but keep it firm”.
Vocabulary for prospects and products
Company names, product names and the names of contacts are where dictation slips. Add the ones you use often to Vocabulary, such as a prospect’s company or your own product, and Talkativ listens out for them, so they are more likely to come out right. Vocabulary is on every plan, including Free.
For field and inside sales
Whether you work from a desk or between meetings, it works the same way in every app on Windows: Ctrl+Space, or Option+Space on a Mac. The Mac version works the same way. Read about Talkativ for Mac. The mic dot at the bottom of the screen shows red while it listens, blue while it works, and green when your words have landed. You can click it instead of using the keys.
What it will not do
- It does not join or record your calls, and it does not summarise a conversation. It types what you say to it.
- It needs an internet connection and does not work offline.
- It can mishear names and company terms, so read before sending.
- Words appear after you stop, not while you speak.
- You cannot change the shortcut. Click the mic dot if the keys clash.
