Voice Typing on iPhone uses the Granola keyboard. Tap the microphone, speak, then tap it again. Granola inserts clean, formatted text where your cursor is. It’s in beta and included for free. An Enterprise admin can turn it off for the workspace, the same Voice typing control as on desktop. It’s coming soon on Android. On Mac and Windows, see Voice Typing.
Voice Typing is separate from meeting transcription. It doesn’t start a new meeting or dictate into an existing one.

Set it up

  1. In the Granola app, open Settings and tap Voice typing.
  2. Tap Turn on in iOS settings.
  3. In Granola’s iOS settings:
    • Open Keyboards
    • Turn on Granola
    • Turn on Allow Full Access, then tap Allow
  4. Return to Granola. Switch to the Granola keyboard with the globe key, tap the microphone, and say something.

Dictate

  1. In any app, tap the text field you want to write in.
  2. If the Granola keyboard isn’t showing, tap the globe key and choose Granola.
  3. Tap the microphone and speak.
  4. Tap the microphone again to finish.
The first time, or when the microphone isn’t ready, Granola opens so it can start listening, then returns you to the app.

Language, styles, and spelling

In the Granola app, Settings > Voice typing:
  • Voice typing language supports 32 languages. Choose Automatic if you switch between languages.
  • Live typing shows text as you speak, then replaces it with the cleaned result. It’s off until you turn it on.
  • Styles sets capitalization and punctuation for each kind of app. The choices match dictation styles on desktop.
  • Dictionary is where you add names and terms. See spelling names and terms.

History and privacy

Recent dictations are in Settings > Voice typing, under History. Local data storage controls what stays on this iPhone. With it off, history is off and a failed dictation can’t be retried. Full Access lets the keyboard read the field you’re typing in and insert text. Granola uses that for the dictation. It doesn’t use Voice Typing to start a meeting.
