Every in-person meeting,
transcribed.
No meeting bot. No laptop. No account. Tap record on your iPhone and Echo transcribes the room — locally, in 30+ languages. Structured notes the second you stop. Then ask anything across every meeting you've ever had.
You forget more
than you realize.
The room is brilliant. A week later, the room is gone.
Every name Echo hears becomes a person — meetings she was in, commitments she made, items still owed.
Tasks and Follow-ups, Open and Done. Tap any item to jump back to the moment it was decided.
For walks home and morning thoughts. Same on-device transcription — no extractions, no action items, just the words.
Group recordings into a Collection — Echo synthesises themes across days. Ten meetings, one story.
An editorial paragraph plus numbered key points — powered by your own AI key. The voice of a thoughtful editor, never a marketing brief.
Tap any line to play from it. Bookmarks, photo marks, and full-text search — the source of truth behind everything else.
Open Echo, pick a type (Meeting · Voice memo · Event · Journal), and tap the mic. Or set up Back Tap for a one-tap shortcut.
Live transcript builds in real time. Bookmark moments, jot anything alongside. Recording survives interruptions and locked screens.
Echo writes a clean AI summary in seconds. Review extracted people and action items, pick what to keep, and it's all timestamped, searchable, and ready.
Echo has no server. No account. No analytics. No third-party trackers. Audio recordings live in your iPhone's local storage. Transcripts stored in SwiftData on your device. AI features are opt-in — when you add your own API key, only the transcript text is sent, never the recording.
The app itself is free. AI features (summaries, the Ask-this-meeting chat) use your own API key from Claude or DeepSeek — you pay them directly, typically pennies per meeting. No subscription to Echo.
Yes. Echo keeps transcribing even when you lock your phone or switch to another app. The recording survives interruptions like phone calls.
30+ languages via Apple Speech, on-device. Multilingual mode is built for code-switching speakers (e.g. an English-Mandarin meeting transcribes both languages in one pass).
Both. Echo uses your iPhone's microphone, so it captures any audio your phone can hear — in-person rooms, Zoom on speaker, AirPods, etc.
Yes. Journal is one of four recording modes and skips the people/action-item extraction by default. Speak; Echo transcribes; the entry files itself with a date and lives alongside your meetings (but private).
Conferences are Collections — multi-day, date-bounded groupings of related recordings. You get one synthesised page across all the sessions: themes, decisions, follow-ups owed. Useful for summits, off-sites, or any week where ten meetings belong to one story.
On your iPhone, in SwiftData. iCloud Backup catches them like any iPhone app. No server, no account — your meetings never leave your device unless you choose to send the transcript text to an AI provider for summary.
