AI note taking app that writes your notes as you speak
Ideas arrive at inconvenient moments: between appointments, on a walk, halfway through reading a contract. Stenograph lets you capture them by voice wherever you are, and it writes them as tidy, structured notes directly into the app where you keep them, without opening a separate notebook first.
Listening
Why notes get lost
Typing a thought on a phone is slow enough that many people simply do not do it. Voice memos are faster, but they pile up as unnamed audio files nobody listens to again. A note that cannot be read at a glance is a note that will not be used. Stenograph closes that gap: you speak for a few seconds and get readable text, in the right place, already arranged as a list or a short paragraph.
- No backlog of voice memos to transcribe later
- No copying text from one app to another
- No rewriting rambling speech into usable notes
Quick capture on your phone keyboard
On iPhone and Android, Stenograph works as a keyboard. In any app with a text field, from your notes app to a task manager or a messaging app, you tap the microphone key, speak, and pause. The text appears in that field, punctuated and formatted. The microphone is on only while you speak and a natural pause ends the note, so there is nothing to stop or save.
- Works in any app that accepts typing
- One tap starts, a pause ends
- Visible states for listening, processing and inserted
Notes by voice on Mac and Windows
At your desk, a global hotkey does the same job. Press it in Notion, Word, Docs or any other application, speak, and your words land at the cursor. You never switch windows. Writing styles adapt to the app, so notes in Notion and Word come out structured with headings and bullets, while a quick message in a chat app stays short. In the browser, the Chrome extension adds the same behavior to web apps. Notes go straight into the documents you already maintain, which is the point: there is no second notebook to keep in sync.
- Global hotkey in every desktop app
- Text inserted at the cursor in Notion, Word and Docs
- Chrome extension for web based tools
Structured notes from natural speech
You do not need to speak in bullet points. Say what you are thinking, and Stenograph removes the filler words, adds punctuation, and organizes the result. Ask for a format by voice when you want one, with commands such as "make that a list" or "new paragraph", and fix mistakes with "delete the last sentence" or "replace X with Y". A list of items for a client file, a short reflection after a meeting, or a set of steps for a colleague all come out readable on the first pass.
- Lists, headings and paragraphs on request
- Voice commands for editing without the keyboard
- Your dictionary for names and terms in every note
From quick notes to longer thinking
Not every note is a sentence. Writers draft sections of an article by voice, clinicians dictate a letter outline, founders talk through a plan while walking. Stenograph handles longer dictation in the same way, splitting it into paragraphs where your topic changes. If you record a longer conversation instead of dictating, the ai meeting notes feature turns it into structured minutes, and recordings you already have can be turned into text with ai transcription.
Notes in the language you think in
Stenograph recognizes more than 50 languages and lets you switch inside a sentence. A note that mixes English with a Spanish phrase or a German product name is written exactly as you said it. Nothing is translated unless you ask.
Private notes stay private
Your spoken audio is erased after processing and never kept. The notes themselves live in your own apps, and Stenograph's text history is optional, can be turned off and can be deleted at any time. Your notes are never used to train AI models. Your text is encrypted on the way to processing and at rest.
Which plan fits personal note taking
Solo covers one person with 1,500 dictation minutes a month, which is generous for daily note taking, plus 300 transcription minutes and 30 meeting summaries. It costs 24 USD per month billed yearly or 49 USD monthly. Pro doubles dictation to 3,000 minutes and adds all professional vocabularies, for 49 USD per month billed yearly.
Questions about the AI note taking app
Does it replace my notes app?
No, and it does not try to. Stenograph writes into the notes app you already use, through the keyboard on your phone and the hotkey on your computer.
Can I use it offline?
Recognition needs a connection, because speech is processed by AI model providers. Without a connection the keyboard shows that it cannot process the note.
Which apps does it work in?
Any app with a text field on iPhone and Android, any desktop app on Mac and Windows, and web apps through the Chrome extension.
Is the microphone listening all the time?
No. It is on only while you speak. One tap or the hotkey starts it, and a pause or a second tap ends it.
Is there a way to test it before I subscribe?
Yes, a one-time demo runs on the home page. All plans are paid, from 24 USD per month billed yearly.
