Granola is an AI notepad for people whose calendars are packed with meetings. It quietly captures your calls using your computer’s audio, which means no awkward bot sitting in your meetings. By the time you hang up, it has already sorted out your notes, to-dos, and follow-ups.
Now, Granola wants to help you outside your meetings too. The company has added a new voice typing feature that lets you speak instead of type in any app you use. Best of all, every Granola user gets it at no cost, and there’s no cap on how many words you can dictate.
How does Granola’s voice typing work?
The idea is simple. You talk the way you normally would, and your words show up as neat, polished text wherever your cursor is blinking. It even handles commas, full stops, and new paragraphs on its own.
Since we can talk faster than we can type, it will significantly improve your speed, allowing you to write up to 4 times faster. I already use an app called TypeWhisper for the same purpose, and I can attest to the benefits.
Where can you use it?
Pretty much anywhere. You can dictate a quick email reply, and it lands in your draft ready to go. Need to update your team before the next meeting? Just say it out loud in Slack, and everyone will be up to speed on the latest changes and next steps.
It’s also great for AI prompts. Most of us cut corners when typing long prompts, which leads to weaker results. With voice typing, you can explain what you need, share all the context, and include every little detail without your fingers getting tired. If you already use Granola, give it a try.
