## What is EchoScribe?

EchoScribe is a privacy-first transcription app for iPhone, built for sensitive conversations and serious work. Record audio or import audio and video, then turn them into editable text with on-device transcription, speaker labels, and local AI tools.

With EchoScribe, you can:
- Record directly on iPhone
- Import audio and video files
- Transcribe with local Whisper models
- Add speaker labels on device
- Edit and export transcripts
- Use a local AI assistant with your transcripts
- Generate summaries, action items, and key points

EchoScribe is designed for people who need more control over private information, including doctors, lawyers, journalists, researchers, consultants, and anyone working with confidential interviews, meetings, or notes.

Instead of sending everything to a cloud-first workflow, EchoScribe helps you keep transcript work closer to your device and under your control.

On-device AI and local model features may vary depending on your iPhone model and the models you download.
