Record

Stenograf hears what your computer plays and what your microphone picks up, as two separate sources. It works with any call app, and with a meeting in the room.

Remember

Transcripts, speakers and summaries stay on your computer. Name a voice once and Stenograf recognises it in later recordings.

Ask

Ask in a meeting or start a chat across saved meetings. Attach documents, check the cited passages, and review proposed changes to your summary.

Now on Android

Record and translate on your phone

Record through your microphone and follow the transcript as you speak. Reopen it with speaker labels and timestamps, search saved recordings, and save the words as Markdown or keep a copy of the audio.

Translate conversations into English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese or Russian. Recording, transcription and translation work offline after the models are downloaded. You can also pair with desktop to send phone recordings over your local network.
