Stenox

Introduction to Stenox

Stenox is a smart voice dictation tool designed specifically for macOS users. It allows you to dictate text in any app, browser, or text field without the need for manual typing. With advanced speech recognition and natural language processing, Stenox transforms spoken words into clean, formatted text with ease. Whether you're working on a document, coding, or sending messages, Stenox adapts to your workflow, making it faster and more efficient to get your thoughts down.

The product offers both local and cloud-based transcription options. You can run transcription locally using Whisper and MLX on Apple Silicon devices, or connect to popular cloud providers using your own API keys. For those who prefer a hassle-free experience, Stenox Cloud provides optimized infrastructure for faster and more accurate results. All features are included with no hidden fees, and data privacy is a core focus—your information stays private, either on-device or according to the privacy policy of your chosen provider.

How Stenox Works

Stenox captures your voice input and processes it through a series of intelligent steps:

Speech Input: You speak naturally, even with pauses and filler words.
Real-Time Processing: The system automatically removes unnecessary words like 'um', 'uh', 'like', and 'you know' while preserving the intended meaning.
Live Corrections: If you say 'actually' or 'wait, no', Stenox understands and adjusts the output accordingly.
Formatting and Cleanup: The final text is formatted neatly, ready for use in documents, emails, or code.
Output: The cleaned-up text appears in the current app or text field, allowing seamless integration into your workflow.
