Your bias goes live. Echo reads it back to you, in your language, as it happens. Point Echo at any K-pop livestream and the translated captions float right over the stream. No waiting on fansubs. No guessing from the comments. WHY FANS PICK ECHO • Idol and group names come out right — 300+ group names, member names and fandom terms, spelled the way fans actually write them. Generic translators mangle them. Echo knows them, now on live audio as well as on-screen text. • Captions float over what you're watching in a Picture-in-Picture window, so you watch your bias and read along at the same time. • 40+ languages, with the spoken language detected automatically. THREE WAYS TO TRANSLATE • Live audio — translate the sound coming from Weverse, bubble, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and more. • On-screen text — translate captions, chats, posts and menus right where you're reading them. • Around me — point your phone at a concert, a TV or a fanmeeting and read along live. KEEP EVERY MOMENT • Every session is saved and named for you — "Friday night Weverse live" — so you can reread it, copy it or share it later. • Turn the best lines into shareable, lyric-style cards. • Missed a translation? One tap tells us. We read every thumbs-down. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY • On-device translation where your iPhone supports it — faster, and it works without a connection. • No sign-up. Open it and go. • Echo is not a screen recorder. It uses only the audio or screen text you choose to translate, and never bypasses DRM or platform protections. FREE EVERY DAY Echo includes a free daily translation allowance. Two optional upgrades remove it. Echo Plus — every mode and every language, your full session history, and history synced across your devices. Subject to a daily fair-use limit set out in the Terms of Use. Start with 3 days free on the weekly plan. Day Pass — one comeback night, no subscription. 90 minutes of translation, valid 24 hours. — — — Echo Plus is an auto-renewing subscription available weekly, monthly or annually.

Something still off? Tell us right after a session — we read every one. ### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-15 • Faster captions • Captions reach the floating window the moment they're ready, instead of waiting on a timer. • Screen translations are easier to read back — text that was on screen the whole time is listed once, not over and over. Still feels slow? Hit thumbsdown after a session. We read every one, and they decide what gets fixed next. ### 1.2 — 2026-08-12 • Faster captions • Captions reach the floating window the moment they're ready, instead of waiting on a timer. • Screen translations are easier to read back — text that was on screen the whole time is listed once, not over and over. Still feels slow? Hit thumbsdown after a session. We read every one, and they decide what gets fixed next. ### 1.1 — 2026-08-11 Member names, finally right. • Live captions now protect K-pop member names and kinship terms — 오빠, 언니, 형, 누나. Until now this only worked on on-screen text; live audio got whatever the translation engine guessed. • Try Echo Plus free for 3 days. • New Day Pass — 90 minutes of translation, valid 24 hours. One-time purchase, no subscription, nothing recurring. • With Echo Plus, your session history now syncs across your devices. • Screen sessions no longer end early, and transcripts stop going missing. • Clearer first-run guides for Audio and Screen modes. ## More apps by Hau-Ben Shih - [FoodyLife : The Food Diary App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/foodylife-the-food-diary-app/id1350599517) - [Half Half - The Couple App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/half-half-the-couple-app/id1432457100) - [Journey of Enschede AR App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/journey-of-enschede-ar-app/id1467017416) - [植語錄｜每日語錄 × 美麗植物日曆](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id1541475960) - [LeftoverChef: End Food Waste](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/leftoverchef-end-food-waste/id6451439943) - [BraBraPhoto](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/brabraphoto/id6756997772) All apps by Hau-Ben Shih: https://appshunter.io/developer/1350599516 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
