Instant
Canto acts in under a second — no waiting on a round trip.
Before Canto
- Click the Notes icon, wait for it to open, then find the note you wanted.
- Switch to Chrome, click the address bar, type youtube.com, wait for it to load.
- Open each app and each site one by one, by hand, every single morning.
After Canto
- “Talky, open Notes and open YouTube in Chrome.” Both open before you finish your coffee.
- “Talky, open Spotify.” One sentence, music on.
- “Talky, open Figma and open github.com in Chrome.” App, then site, in order.
How to use Canto, step by step
- Start with “Talky”Hold Fn and dictate as usual — but begin the sentence with “Talky”. That one word turns the sentence into a command. Say “Talky” anywhere else and it's just typed as text. There is no mode to switch into, and nothing to switch back from.
- Say what you want, like you'd say it to a personNo rigid syntax. “Talky, open Notes and open YouTube in Chrome” is one sentence — Canto opens the app, then the site in Chrome, in order.
- Chain with “and”One sentence can open several apps and websites, in order. Famous sites open by name — no “.com” needed. For a site Canto doesn't know, say the full domain: “Talky, open github.com in Chrome”.
- Check the result, then carry onCanto shows what it opened. If something's off, say the correction the same way — or just dictate normally. If Canto can't find an app or a site, it asks you for the full domain name right in the pile.

Tips that actually help
- Chain the boring parts: “Talky, open Notes and open YouTube in Chrome” beats opening each one by hand.
- Name the app or the site — “Talky, open Spotify” works better than describing where to click.
- Famous sites open by name, no “.com” needed. For anything else, say the full domain.
- “Open it” means the app you just opened — pronouns point at what Canto opened last.
