Granola launches Mac dictation feature, iOS and Windows coming soon
Granola's dictation tool cleans up and formats speech, letting users type notes, prompts and replies by voice.
Granola released a dictation feature on October 29, 2026 that is currently available on Mac, with iOS and Windows versions promised soon. Users press the Fn key and speak, and the tool cleans up the speech, formats it and enters the final text, according to TechCrunch.
The feature can be used for note-taking, entering AI prompts and replying to emails and messages by voice. Granola said the iOS and Windows versions will be released soon.
Granola is valued at $1.5 billion, while Whisper, known for its dictation tool, is valued at $2 billion. Whisper is developing its own models through a research lab that explores various human-computer interfaces.
Other voice startups such as Fireflies, Speechify and Monologue are also evolving into multi-function apps with meeting-notes and dictation features.
Shifting feature lines
A few months before October 2026, Whisper introduced a meeting-notes feature in its own product. Until early 2026, apps that did one thing well were the trend, according to TechCrunch.
