Summary
Granola added a Mac dictation tool that lets users press the Fn key, speak across apps, and get cleaned-up, formatted text for notes, prompts, emails, and messages.
The launch pushes Granola beyond its meeting-notetaker roots and directly into Wispr’s core territory, months after Wispr expanded the other way by adding a meeting notetaker.
Granola said the feature will come to iOS and Windows soon, extending a cross-platform push in a market where broader voice workflows are becoming the norm.
The overlap reflects a wider shift among voice AI startups including Fireflies, Speechify, and Monologue, as companies move from single-purpose tools to multifeature apps built around capturing users’ speech.
