captures everything accurately
The local hardware recording means no more permissions drama with clients.
battery drains faster when it is running all day
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Stenote records from your microphone and speakers on your own Mac, PC or phone, so no bot appears in the participant list.
Minutes after you stop, recordings are enhanced with a summary, action items attributed to owners, chapters and key takeaways.
Speakers are identified with names and talk-time shares, and you can search the full transcript or ask the recording questions.
Record on desktop, iPhone or Android, upload from a voice recorder, or use the web app — everything syncs into one library at stenote.ai.
Detects English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Dutch automatically, then exports notes to Notion or Evernote.
Stenote is a bot-free AI notetaker. Where most meeting assistants dial a recording bot into the call — where it asks to be admitted and shows up in the participant list — Stenote records from your own device. It listens through your microphone and your speakers, so it works with Zoom, Teams, Meet, a phone call taken on your laptop, or a conversation across the table. Nothing extra is in the room but you.
The workflow is lightweight. When Zoom, Teams or Meet grabs your microphone, a small prompt offers to take notes; nothing records until you agree. During the meeting you can jot a few words that matter to you while Stenote captures everything else. Afterwards, your notes are enhanced with a summary, action items assigned to the people who agreed to them, chapters, speaker identification and a fully searchable transcript. You can even ask the recording questions like "What did we decide about hiring?" and get answers that quote the moment.
Everything lands in a single web library at stenote.ai, whether you recorded on a Mac, an iPhone, an uploaded voice memo, or right in the browser. The first hour is free and then one all-inclusive plan covers unlimited recordings across every device, with Notion and Evernote export and six-language transcription built in.
Record client sessions and private calls without a visible notetaker in the participant list.
Capture standups, planning sessions and reviews, with action items automatically assigned to the right person.
Record in-person sessions on your iPhone or Android and get summaries, quotes and a transcript in the same library.
Record lectures or study groups and later ask the recording questions to find exactly what was said.
