Granola launches dictation feature to take on Wispr
What happened
Granola, which started as a meeting-notes tool, launched a dictation feature on 30 October 2026, putting it in direct competition with Wispr. According to TechCrunch, users can dictate by pressing the Fn key on a Mac, and the tool automatically tidies and formats the text; notes, prompts or email replies can be pasted into any app, with no word limit and free to use. The feature will roll out to iOS and Windows. The report noted that Wispr had previously expanded from dictation to meeting notes, and that voice apps such as Fireflies, Speechify and Monologue are also moving towards multi-function integration. Dictation is currently available on Mac, with the iOS and Windows versions still to come.
