Enterprise
Built for confidential work.
If your meetings contain confidential data, you can't send the audio to a third party. Steno records, transcribes, and summarizes entirely on the device — no cloud, no bot, no vendor in your data path. Here's what that means for regulated and sensitive work.
DefenseOperational planning and sensitive discussions run on hardware you control, on networks you control. Steno does the entire pipeline — capture, transcription, summary — on the device, offline, with nothing transiting an external server. It's designed for air-gapped, local-only deployments — the environment cloud notetakers structurally can't serve. (Accreditation for any specific classified environment is a function of your own deployment and authorization process, not the app alone.)
ExecutiveThe conversations that decide a company's direction — board prep, M&A, exec offsites, restructurings — are the ones you least want on a third party's servers. Steno keeps them on the device they're held on, with no cloud, no bot, and no vendor in the loop.
FinanceInvestment discussions, client meetings, and internal reviews carry material, non-public information that can't sit on a third party's servers. Steno records, transcribes, and summarizes on-device, keeping sensitive discussion inside your controls and out of a vendor's cloud.
GovernmentBriefings, policy discussions, and internal reviews carry information that can't be handed to a cloud vendor. Steno records, transcribes, and summarizes entirely on the device — no third-party processor, no data crossing a border, no records leaving the machine they were captured on.
HealthcareConsultations, care-team discussions, and clinical supervision involve protected health information that shouldn't be handed to a third party. Steno transcribes and summarizes entirely on-device, so PHI stays with you — supporting your HIPAA obligations instead of expanding them.
LegalClient calls, case strategy, and internal deliberations are privileged — and privilege is easiest to defend when the material never left your control. Steno keeps every recording, transcript, and summary on the device, with no third-party processor able to touch or be compelled to produce it.
