## What is Echo?

Record anything in high quality, then read it back as searchable text — all on your phone. Echo is a complete voice recorder with on-device transcription: no time limits, no account, no cloud. Your recordings never leave your device.

Capture lectures, meetings, interviews, memos, and song ideas with a single tap, then turn your voice into text you can search, copy, and export — privately, even in airplane mode.

WHY ECHO

Most transcription apps live in the cloud, lock you into a subscription, and cap your free recordings. Echo flips that: unlimited recording length and count, every format including lossless WAV and FLAC, a full editor, and on-device speech to text — free, offline, and private.

RECORD WITHOUT LIMITS
- Unlimited recording length and number of recordings — never capped
- Record in M4A, AAC, MP3, WAV, and lossless FLAC
- Choose sample rate, bitrate, mono or stereo, and mic gain
- Pause and resume; drop markers to bookmark key moments
- Background and lock-screen recording that survives a screen-off
- Auto-save on interruption — a call or low battery never loses your audio
- A beautiful live waveform that reacts to your voice in real time

ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTION
- Turn speech into text right on your phone — no internet required
- Tap any word in the transcript to jump to that moment in the audio
- Karaoke-style highlighting that follows along as you listen
- Copy or export the full transcript as plain text
- Works in many languages, depending on what your device supports

FIND ANYTHING YOU SAID
- Full-text search across every recording AND every transcript
- Find that one thing someone said in seconds
- Organize with folders, color tags, notes, and favorites

EDIT LIKE A PRO
- Trim, split, merge, delete sections, and fade — all on-device
- Rename, re-record, and clean up without sending audio anywhere

LISTEN YOUR WAY
- Playback speed from 0.5x to 3x, silence-skip, A-B repeat, skip forward and back
- Background playback, sleep timer, and instant marker navigation

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- 100% offline: recording and transcription happen on your device
- No account, no sign-up, nothing uploaded to any server
- Back up and restore your audio and transcripts yourself, on your terms
- Import audio files from your phone to transcribe them
- Perfect for sensitive interviews, meetings, and personal memos

ONE-TAP CAPTURE
- A home-screen widget for instant recording without opening the app
- Catch the idea the moment it happens

WHO IT IS FOR
- Students recording lectures and study notes
- Professionals capturing meetings and quick memos
- Journalists recording and transcribing interviews
- Musicians saving melodies and song ideas
- Anyone who wants a fast, private, reliable voice recorder

Echo is free and supported by ads shown only at natural breaks — never during a recording, never during playback, and never over your transcript. Your capture and listening experience stays clean. An optional one-time upgrade to remove ads may be offered later; every core feature stays free.

Note: Call recording is not supported, in line with platform rules and consent laws. Transcription runs on-device and is best-effort — availability and accuracy vary by device and language; recording always works regardless.

Download Echo and start capturing — in high quality, fully searchable, and completely private.
