Granola crunches up a dictation feature to compete with Wispr

Granola, a meeting notetaker app, has added a dictation feature to compete with Wispr, a dictation tool, in a move that reflects the convergence of consumer voice AI apps. Granola's dictation feature currently works on Mac and allows users to press the 'Fn' key and start speaking, with the tool cleaning up and formatting their speech and posting the final text. The feature will soon be available on iOS and Windows. This comes after Wispr added meeting notes to its dictation app, and both companies are valued at over $1 billion. Other voice startups, such as Fireflies, Speechify, and Monologue, are also converging into multifeature apps with meeting notetaking and dictation capabilities.
