I've tried many AI presentation tools, but Chronicle really stands out for me. It's fast and easy to create beautifully designed slides.

This feels like the future of presentation creation.

Frequently asked questions

Steno runs quietly in the background on your Mac. Simply hold down the activation shortcut, speak naturally, and release. Steno transcribes your audio almost instantly with superhuman accuracy directly into whatever application you're using.

Yes. Data stays entirely on your device. We don't train models on your recordings and your speech data is never sent to third-party servers.

Steno requires an active internet connection to process audio and deliver results. This lets us run much more powerful AI models than anything that fits on-device, giving you far higher accuracy across accents, technical language, and fast speech.

Steno currently supports dictation and translation in over 100+ languages, automatically detecting the language you are speaking without needing to switch settings.
