## What is Echosy?

Stop taking notes. Start listening.

Echosy records, transcribes, and summarizes your meetings, lectures, and interviews — so you can focus on the conversation instead of scribbling. Everything runs on your iPhone, using Apple Intelligence and on-device speech recognition. No cloud required. No subscription. No account.

KEY FEATURES

• On-device transcription in 60+ languages
  Powered by iOS 26's new continuous speech engine for English, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional, Cantonese, Hong Kong), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese — with seamless long-form recording and no 60-second break points. Other languages use Apple's built-in speech framework, supporting Hindi, Thai, Dutch, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian, and many more.

• Automatic AI summaries
  The moment you stop recording, Echosy drafts a structured summary — overview, key points, decisions, action items — using Apple Intelligence on-device. No prompt engineering, no API juggling. Just tap record, speak, and read the summary.

• Ask AI about your recordings
  Got a question about what was discussed? Open the chat drawer and ask. Echosy answers using the full transcript as context — completely offline.

• Bring your own AI (optional)
  Prefer a cloud AI provider instead of the on-device engine? Echosy supports a range of services through a standard API endpoint — including DeepSeek, local Ollama servers, and any compatible provider you configure. Flip one switch in Settings and Echosy routes summaries and chat through your preferred service.

• Fully private by default
  Audio never leaves your iPhone unless you explicitly enable a cloud provider. No account creation. No analytics on your voice. No training data. Just transcription.

• Re-transcribe, edit, and export
  Saved recordings can be re-transcribed in a different language, edited inline, and exported as Markdown, plain text, or the native .echo bundle.

• Beautiful, distraction-free interface
  Glass-morphism design, dark and light modes, onboarding that gets out of the way.

LANGUAGES SUPPORTED

English (US, UK, AU, CA, IE, IN, NZ, SG, ZA), Chinese (Simplified, Traditional, Hong Kong, Cantonese), Japanese, Korean, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, US, Chile), French (France, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland), German (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Italian (Italy, Switzerland), Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal), Hindi, Thai, Dutch, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Greek, Hebrew, Catalan, Arabic, Russian, and more.

REQUIREMENTS

• iPhone running iOS 17 or later
• iOS 26 required for the new continuous transcription engine and on-device Apple Intelligence summaries
• iOS 17–25 uses the classic speech recognition engine (still works, no downgrade)

PRIVACY FIRST

Echosy is designed so your voice never leaves your phone. No telemetry on your recordings. No cloud uploads unless you opt in. No sign-in. Delete the app and every trace is gone.

Record better. Listen more. Let Echosy handle the rest.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-04-23

1.2.0 brings live translation, clearer recording controls, and smarter recording titles.

• Live translation on the recording screen
  Pick your source language on the left and a translation target on the right — each finalized sentence is translated in real time beneath the original. No more digging through Settings.

• Smarter recording titles
  After your summary lands, Echosy writes a clean topic-based title for the recording instead of grabbing a generic heading like "Overview". Don't like the title? Long-press (or swipe left) a recording in History to rename it.

• Clearer recording controls
  The mic button now pauses and resumes. A dedicated Stop button saves; Cancel asks for confirmation before discarding so you never lose a recording by accident.

• Voice Memos shortcut
  One tap from the Import Audio screen opens the Voice Memos app — share a recording straight back into Echosy.

• Polished layout
  Audio player and bottom controls refreshed. First-run wizard refreshed to walk you through the new language and translation bar.

Thanks for your feedback — keep it coming.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-04-14

1.1.0 brings the biggest transcription upgrade since launch — record meetings for hours without interruption and let Apple Intelligence draft the summary automatically.

• Continuous live transcription on iOS 26
  The new on-device speech engine runs for hours without breaking. Finalized sentences appear instantly — no more gap between segments while you speak.

• Auto-summarize by default
  Stop recording and your AI summary drafts itself, no extra tap.

• Automatic language model download
  The first time you pick a new language, Echosy downloads the on-device model in the background with a visible progress bar. Subsequent recordings start instantly.

• Language picker now in your language
  The language list shows names in your iPhone's interface language, so "Hindi" appears as "印地文" for Chinese users, "ヒンディー語" for Japanese users, and so on. No more guessing what a language is called in its own script.

• Quick fix shortcuts for summary errors
  If your cloud API key is missing or Apple Intelligence isn't set up, the error message now includes a one-tap "Open Settings" button that takes you straight to where you can fix it.

Thanks to everyone who sent feedback — keep it coming.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-04-09
