Granola launches Mac-wide dictation feature to compete with Wispr
Granola, known for its meeting notetaker, launched a dictation feature for macOS that lets users press the Fn key to dictate across apps while the tool cleans up and formats the resulting text; the company says iOS and Windows support are coming soon. The move directly mirrors Wispr’s earlier expansion from dictation into meeting notes and reflects broader convergence among voice‑AI startups like Fireflies, Speechify and Monologue.
