How do I get speaker labels in meeting transcription?
Browser-based transcription cannot identify different speakers. Steno's meeting mode on Mac automatically detects and labels different speakers, so your transcript shows who said what.
Can I transcribe a recorded meeting?
This tool works with live audio only. For recorded meetings, you would need a native app. Steno handles both live meetings and can process audio through your Mac's microphone.

Why transcribe meetings?
People forget 50% of meeting content within an hour and 90% within a week. A transcript ensures nothing is lost. It also makes meetings searchable, helps absent team members catch up, and creates accountability for action items.
Professional meeting transcription with Steno
Steno's meeting mode goes beyond basic transcription. It runs natively on Mac, identifies different speakers automatically, and gives each person their own label and color in the transcript. After the meeting, you have a complete, speaker-attributed record you can search, share, and reference.
