Granola Adds Free, Unlimited Dictation to Take On Wispr
The meeting-notes app now lets you speak into any Mac app and get clean text, on every plan.
Granola, best known for its AI meeting notes, has launched a dictation feature, according to TechCrunch. You press the Fn key, speak, and the tool cleans up and formats what you said before it types the final text. It works across apps, including notes, prompts, emails and messages.
Dictation is on Mac at launch, and Granola says iOS and Windows versions are coming soon. TechCrunch reports it is available on all plans with no limits, and quotes Granola's announcement: "Unlimited words, for free."
The launch is aimed at Wispr, a dictation app that launched a meeting notetaker months ago. TechCrunch notes that Fireflies, Speechify and Monologue have also combined notetaking and dictation in one app, and puts Granola's valuation at $1.5 billion and Wispr's at $2 billion.
If you already pay for a meeting notes app, check whether it now includes dictation before buying a second tool. Try it on one real task, like replying to a day of email by voice, and see if the cleanup saves you editing time. See our list of AI meeting note takers and the dictation apps worth trying.
