Wispr Flow has raised over $81 million and was valued at $700 million at its last round, with reports of a new round at a $2 billion valuation.", "body_md": "*Update August 5, 12.10 am PT: Wispr Flow has officially launched its notetaker for Mac. The notetaker, similar to the one of Granola’s, uses system audio to transcribe a meeting without joining one. It also cleans up transcripts, creates action items, and lets users query across meeting history with the help of AI.*\n\n*Users can see a live transcript and ask AI to catch them up as well.*\n\n*Our original reporting based on Wispr Flow’s terms change is below*\n\nDictation app [Wispr Flow](https://wisprflow.ai/) is preparing to launch a meeting notetaker, according to the tool’s updated [Terms of Service](https://wisprflow.ai/terms-of-service).\n\nThe company also sent an email to its customers about the change in both its terms and its privacy policy to accommodate related features.\n\nUpon investigation, the [refreshed terms](https://wisprflow.ai/terms-of-service) have added sections about the use of meeting data and the notetaker. The company said the notetaker will generate transcripts, summaries, actions, and insights, writing:\n\nFor Notetaker, Input may also include Meeting Data, including meeting audio, participant information, meeting metadata, speaker labels, meeting transcripts, and other information processed in connection with a meeting. Output may include AI-generated meeting transcripts, summaries, action items, meeting insights, speaker attribution, and other meeting-related content.\n\nWith the launch, the startup will take on other meeting notetakers such as [Granola](https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/25/granola-raises-125m-hits-1-5b-valuation-as-it-expands-from-meeting-notetaker-to-enterprise-ai-app/), [Fireflies](https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/23/ai-powered-notetaker-fireflies-ai-release-mini-apps-to-extract-insights-out-of-meeting-notes/), [Read AI](https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/26/read-ai-launches-an-email-based-digital-twin-to-help-you-with-schedules-and-answers/), [Otter](https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/07/how-otter-ais-ceo-is-pushing-the-company-to-be-more-than-just-a-meeting-scribe/), and [Fathom](https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/19/ai-notetaker-fathom-raises-17m/). Wispr Flow’s co-founder Tanay Kothari had previously talked about building an AI assistant [in interviews](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYoND2PK_bs). With a meeting notetaker, Wispr Flow would gain additional context about its users and could automate more tasks beyond cleaning up spoken sentences.\n\nIt’s not clear if the startup wants to launch a Granola-style notetaker that relies on system audio and transcribes the meeting without keeping a recording, or build a full-fledged meeting recording tool.\n\nTo date, Wispr Flow has raised [more than $81 million](https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/20/as-its-voice-dectation-app-takes-off-wispr-secures-25m-from-notable-capital/), with the company valued at $700 million at its last round. In May, [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-12/ai-dictation-startup-wispr-in-funding-talks-at-2-billion-value) reported that the company was in talks for a new round, valuing it at $2 billion.\n\nWispr Flow didn’t respond to our request for further comment.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wispr-flow-launches-a-granola-styled-meeting-notetaker", "canonical_source": "https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/05/wispr-flow-is-preparing-to-launch-a-meeting-notetaker-updated-terms-suggest/", "published_at": "2026-08-05 08:12:29+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-05 08:22:27.196843+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Wispr Flow", "Granola", "Fireflies", "Read AI", "Otter", "Fathom", "Tanay Kothari"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wispr-flow-launches-a-granola-styled-meeting-notetaker", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wispr-flow-launches-a-granola-styled-meeting-notetaker.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wispr-flow-launches-a-granola-styled-meeting-notetaker.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wispr-flow-launches-a-granola-styled-meeting-notetaker.jsonld"}}
