Record anything in high quality, then read it back as searchable text โ 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 โ 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, lossless WAV and FLAC, an editor for WAV recordings, and on-device speech to text โ free, offline, and private. RECORD WITHOUT LIMITS - Unlimited recording length and number of recordings โ never capped - Record in M4A (AAC), WAV, or lossless FLAC - Mono or stereo recording - Pause and resume; drop markers to bookmark key moments - Background and lock-screen recording that survives a screen-off - Auto-save on interruption โ 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 device โ no internet required - Tap any line of the transcript to jump to that moment in the audio - Karaoke-style highlighting that follows along as you listen - Copy, edit, 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 title AND every transcript - Find that one thing someone said in seconds - Organize with folders, color tags, notes, and favorites EDIT WAV RECORDINGS - Trim, split, delete sections, and fade โ all on your device - Every edit is saved as a new recording; the original is always kept - Rename and organize 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 markers on the waveform PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Recording, transcription, and editing work offline, on your device - No account, no sign-up โ your recordings and transcripts are never uploaded - 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 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 โ never during a recording, never during playback, and never over your transcript. An optional one-time upgrade removes the ads where it is offered; every feature stays free without it. Note: Call recording is not supported, in line with platform rules and consent laws. Transcription runs on-device and is best-effort โ availability and accuracy vary by device and language; recording always works regardless. Download Echo and start capturing โ in high quality, fully searchable, and completely private.
