Private memory for conversations
you cannot give to the cloud
Record calls and meetings on your computer, or record and translate conversations on your Android phone. Stenograf transcribes speech on your own device. On desktop, ask questions and check the passages behind each answer.
Record, remember, ask
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.
Transcripts, speakers and summaries stay on your computer. Name a voice once and Stenograf recognises it in later recordings.
Ask in a meeting or start a chat across saved meetings. Attach documents, check the cited passages, and review proposed changes to your summary.
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.
What stays on your computer
Your recordings, complete transcripts, Discover questions and answers, citations, speaker names and voice profiles, and calendar contents stay on your computer. Transcript excerpts leave it in one case only — inside a Discover rating you confirm.
Recording other people is your responsibility: tell everyone and get permission before you press Record meeting. What leaves your computer, and when
