Start a session
1
Open Notetaker
Open Notetaker in the main window. When idle, it shows session history. Choose New session for quick setup.
2
Prepare the session
Check the speech model and insights provider. Optionally select a calendar event, add reference files, or write Personal notes and preparation questions to guide insights. An excerpt of those notes goes to the selected insights provider. Speech follows the active dictation model; insights have their own selection.
3
Start capture
Choose Start session. Grant Microphone and Screen & System Audio Recording access if prompted. Stenox prepares speech and speaker processing, opens the session tracker, and minimizes the main window.
4
Follow the conversation
Use Conversation, Insights, and Personal notes as the meeting progresses. Set or edit the title in the tracker. Wear headphones on calls to reduce duplicate microphone and system audio.
Current session setup records microphone + system audio together. Stenox does not join a call as a bot or read participant names from the call app. Make sure participants understand that you are recording.
Pause, return, and finish
Pause stops both audio sources and commits queued speech. It retains the session, speaker names, and processing state. Resume continues the same recording clock without counting the pause. Preparation and finalization cannot be paused. Closing the tracker window leaves capture running. Reopen Notetaker to return to it. The window can sit alongside another app; clicking that app does not end the session. End the session with its stop control or the meeting shortcut. Stenox finishes pending transcription, performs a final insight review when enabled, and prepares refined notes when possible. A preparation or AI failure is shown in the session; review the status before assuming notes are complete.Find an earlier session
History searches titles, conversation, insights, personal notes, and extracted reference text. Double-click a row or press Return to open it. During active capture, an older session opens as a read-only snapshot; when idle, saved sessions are editable. A paused session recovered after the app quits is saved as interrupted history. Recording cannot resume across app launches. Quitting normally waits for capture finalization and pending saves.Conversation and speakers
