Granola, known for its meeting note-taking software, has made a new dictation tool available on the Mac platform that allows users to convert their speech into text.

The new feature allows users to dictate text within any application by pressing the 'Fn' key. The system automatically edits and formats voice inputs, making it easier to create notes, emails, or commands. The company stated that this feature is offered to all users without any word limit.

Granola's move is seen as part of a strategy to compete directly with rivals like Wispr in the voice AI market. Currently available only on Mac devices, the feature is planned to be brought to iOS and Windows platforms in the future. Other startups in the sector, such as Fireflies, Speechify, and Monologue, are similarly expanding their service ranges by transforming into multi-feature platforms.
