Zero-cloud confidential voice dictation for high-billing legal partners

High-billing litigation partners lose over 12 billable hours every single week manually typing briefs, emails, and case notes because Bar ethics rules strictly ban cloud transcription tools.

Stenox runs high-accuracy voice-to-text entirely on local Apple Silicon and RTX hardware with zero internet telemetry. It instantly injects structured legal jargon, citations, and polished correspondence directly into Microsoft Word, Clio, and Outlook at 180 words per minute. Law firms eliminate transcriptionist overhead while ensuring client confidentiality is mathematically air-gapped.

Stenox is establishing the gold standard in privacy-first professional voice productivity across the $900B global legal and compliance sector.

Problem
  • When I draft complex legal motions and depositions, I want to dictate thoughts at conversational speed, but typing manually burns 12 billable hours weekly worth over $7k per partner.
  • Why Now: High-speed edge neural models can now transcribe specialized vocabulary on local device hardware at near-zero latency without sending a single byte to external servers.
  • When I handle sensitive M&A or criminal defense files, I want to use modern voice AI, but cloud-based transcription tools violate strict Bar confidentiality mandates and non-disclosure agreements.
  • When I rely on legacy human transcription services, I want rapid document turnaround, but delays take 24 to 48 hours and cost up to $150 per recorded audio hour.
  • Existing Alternatives: Legacy desktop software with clunky setup, sluggish manual keyboard typing, or unvetted human transcription agencies.
Solution
  • High-Level Concept: Superhuman local voice dictation built exclusively for confidentiality-bound legal practitioners.
  • Zero-latency edge neural engine that runs fully offline on Apple Silicon and modern desktop GPUs with zero external data routing.
  • Native legal lexicon engine that auto-formats Bluebook citations, deposition timestamps, and jurisdictional terminology in real time.
  • System-wide omni-injection that seamlessly types formatted legal text directly into Clio, Outlook, LexisNexis, Word, and Slack without copy-pasting.
Distribution
  • Early Adopters: Managing partners at mid-sized litigation and boutique corporate law firms billing $500+ per hour.
  • Direct targeted outreach to Legal Operations Directors and Managing Partners via specialized Bar Association CLE sponsorships.
  • Security-first enterprise proof-of-concept deployments via vetted legal IT managed service providers (MSPs).
  • Invite-only closed beta roadshows at premier legal technology conferences like Legalweek and ILTACON.
Pricing
  • Value Ladder: Starter at $49 per seat monthly for solo attorneys, Enterprise at $149 per seat monthly for law firms with centralized fleet management and custom lexicons, Custom On-Prem at $5k+ annually for enterprise security audits.
  • One Metric That Matters (OMTM): Daily Dictated Words per Active Seat (retaining partner engagement above 2k words dictated per day).
  • Market Sizing: SAM is 350k US litigation attorneys; capturing 2.5% market penetration at $149 monthly yields $15.6M ARR in Year 1.
Scale Costs
  • Continuous fine-tuning pipelines and proprietary legal acoustic dataset acquisition covering niche multi-jurisdictional case law vocabularies.
  • SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 continuous air-gap compliance auditing and enterprise penetration testing retainers.
  • Low-level hardware optimization engineering across evolving Apple Silicon and enterprise Windows workstation chipsets.
