Common questions
What is Steno?
Steno is an AI voice note-taking app for iPhone, built by Vidus6. It records lectures, meetings and voice memos and turns them into an accurate transcript, a summary, flashcards, a quiz, and a chat you can ask questions to.
Is Steno free?
Yes — Steno is free to download and includes a monthly amount of AI transcription. Steno Pro unlocks more transcription time and the full study toolset for people who record every day.
How accurate is the transcription?
Steno uses advanced AI to produce word-for-word transcripts and even labels different speakers, so meetings and lectures stay easy to follow. The audio is transcribed automatically after you finish recording.
Is my data private?
Your recordings are stored only on your device and Steno never asks you to create an account. Audio is sent securely to our AI provider solely to generate your transcript — it is never sold, shared, or used for anything else.
What can Steno do with my notes?
Beyond the transcript, Steno automatically creates a summary with key points and key terms, flashcards, a multiple-choice quiz, and a chat that answers questions about your note. You can also translate any note and export it as a PDF.
Can I cancel Steno Pro anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your Steno Pro subscription anytime in the App Store, and you keep access until the end of your billing period.
