Granola launches dictation feature to challenge Wispr

Granola, known for its meeting notetaker, introduced a dictation feature for Mac on October 29, 2026. Users can press the "Fn" key to transcribe and format speech for use across any application, including notes, emails, and messages. The feature is free with unlimited words. Granola plans to expand the feature to iOS and Windows. This launch follows Wispr's introduction of a meeting notetaker months earlier, blurring the functional boundaries between the two AI voice tools, both of which are valued over $1 billion.
