StenoAI 0.5.7
StenoAI v0.5.7
Transcripts
- Per-segment timestamps — every turn of the live and saved transcript now shows a
[MM:SS](H:MM:SSfor long meetings) offset, so you can see and cite when things were said. It's display-only — summarisation is unchanged. (#272, adapted from #102 by @BrianNguyen291)
Performance
- Faster on Apple Silicon — opt into Ollama's native MLX / NVFP4 model builds for quicker local summaries via Settings → "Switch to faster build". Your canonical model choice and settings are preserved; the faster tag is used only at runtime. Bundled Ollama updated to v0.31.1. (#269, @Optic00)
Languages
- Pin your meeting language — Parakeet users can now pin a European language (French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese) so summaries and notes come out in it rather than defaulting to English. (#267, @Optic00)
Quality
- Cleaner summaries — reasoning-model "thinking" (
<think>) blocks are stripped before notes render, so a model's scratchpad never leaks into a summary. (#256, @Vassista)
Migrating from Granola
- A standalone granola-to-steno skill (for Claude Code / Cowork users with a connected Granola MCP) to sync existing Granola notes into Steno's file store. See the README's "Coming from Granola?" section. (#270, @Optic00)
Fixes & under the hood
- Auto-detect no longer fires on
app_id-less mic events on macOS 14+ (fewer false "meeting detected" prompts). (#263, @Optic00) - Removed a dead, unprotected
processCLI command. (#268, @Optic00)
Contributors
Big thanks to @Optic00 for the bulk of this release (faster MLX builds, language pinning, the Granola skill, and fixes), @Vassista for cleaner summaries, and @BrianNguyen291 whose #102 the transcript-timestamp work is adapted from. 🙏
