Problem
Shareholder general meetings often rely on manual note‑taking for audience questions, which leads to transcription errors, dialect mismatches, delayed question routing, and incomplete context, ultimately extending meeting duration and risking missed or misunderstood inquiries.
Solution
autosteno uses a German‑hosted AI speech‑to‑text engine to capture shareholder questions in real time, converting spoken input into accurately transcribed text across all German dialects. The system instantly deletes the audio fragments, ensuring no recordings are stored. Captured utterances are automatically reformulated into clear, context‑rich questions and forwarded directly to the company’s existing Q&A platform. The solution supports both on‑site and virtual assemblies and can be trained on corporate documents to recognize firm‑specific terminology. Optional monitoring tracks the handling of each question, providing assurance that no inquiry is overlooked. All processing complies with GDPR and German data‑security standards.
Target Audience
The primary customers are listed corporations and their investor‑relations or corporate‑secretariat teams that conduct annual general meetings, as well as service providers managing shareholder assemblies for DAX, MDAX and SDAX companies.
