Steno turns everything you hear into notes you can actually use. Hit record in a lecture, in a meeting, or on the walk home. When you stop, Steno transcribes the audio and rebuilds it as a clean, structured note: a readable transcript, a summary you can skim in a minute, the key points that mattered, and the key terms worth remembering. No typing through class. No scrubbing back through an hour of audio to find one sentence. HOW IT WORKS 1. Record - start a recording in class, in a meeting, or on your own. 2. Stop - Steno transcribes the audio into readable text. 3. Read - the summary pulls out the key points and the key terms for you. 4. Use it - study from flashcards and a quiz, ask the note a question, or export a PDF. WHERE STENO FITS β€’ Lectures - record the whole class and walk out with organized notes and a study set. β€’ Meetings - capture the discussion and get the key points in writing, without a bot joining the call. β€’ Interviews - keep a full transcript for research, journalism, or hiring. β€’ Voice memos - think out loud for two minutes and get structured text back. β€’ Pages you already have - photograph a textbook page or paste in text, and Steno treats it as a source just like audio. WHAT YOU GET β€’ AI transcription - clear, readable text from your recording. Transcription runs after you stop, so you can pay attention to the room instead of the screen. β€’ Structured summary - the whole recording condensed into key points and key terms, not a wall of text. β€’ Flashcards - generated from your own note. Swipe through them, mark what you know and what you don't, and come back to the gaps. β€’ Quiz - a multiple-choice quiz built from the same material, with scoring, so you find out what actually stuck. β€’ Chat with your note - ask a question about the recording and get an answer grounded in what was said. Ask what was decided about the deadline, or have the second theory explained again. β€’ Folders - group notes by class, client, or project and keep the list clean. β€’ Text and photo import - paste notes or snap a page, and turn either into a full note with summary, flashcards, and quiz. β€’ PDF export and printing - export or print any section: transcript, summary, flashcards, or quiz. FOR STUDENTS Record the lecture, then let Steno do the pass you never have time for. The summary gives you the shape of the class, the key terms give you the vocabulary, and the flashcards and quiz turn a single recording into a real study session. Photograph the slides you missed and they join the same note. When exams come around, everything for one subject is sitting in one folder. FOR BUSY PROFESSIONALS Meetings, client calls, site visits, one-on-ones. Record, and afterwards read the summary instead of the full transcript. Go back to the transcript when the detail matters. Export a clean PDF when someone needs the minutes in writing. Steno stays out of your calls - it records on your phone, on your terms. QUIET BY DESIGN No account needed to start and nothing to set up. Recordings and documents are processed on our servers to create your notes, so you need an internet connection. Sign in with Apple or Google if you want your notes synced. The interface stays out of the way: a record button, a list of notes, and the note itself. Steno is free to download. Steno Pro unlocks AI notes (transcript, summary, flashcards and quiz), transcripts with timestamps and speaker labels, chat with your notes, and cloud sync. One recording. A transcript, a summary, flashcards, and a quiz. That is the whole idea. Record. Transcribe. Understand.
