Echosy vs MoosePad

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.

Whether you're meeting in person or on a video call, MoosePad captures every point and action item so you can put your pen down and stay in the conversation. Everything stays private. Transcription runs on your device, and your audio never leaves it. It turns your meetings into organized, searchable notes on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. On Mac, it can capture system audio from Zoom, Teams, and your browser, not just your microphone. Hit record for a real-time transcript, then one tap generates a structured AI summary with key points, action items, and takeaways. Only the transcript text is sent to the cloud for that summary. You can also import audio you recorded somewhere else (podcasts, lectures, voice memos) and run it through the same transcription and summary flow. PERFECT FOR • Business meetings and team standups • Church services and Bible studies • University lectures and seminars • Interviews and consultations • Podcasts and voice memos KEY FEATURES • Real-time, on-device transcription using Apple's Speech framework • AI summaries with sections, action items, and key takeaways • Ask this meeting: chat with your notes • Disable emojis in AI summaries from Settings • Speaker labels you can assign to each voice • Capture more than your microphone. On Mac, MoosePad records system audio directly from Zoom, Teams, browsers, and other apps. On iPhone and iPad, put a video call on speakerphone and MoosePad captures both sides through the mic. For direct Zoom or Teams system-audio capture, record on your Mac. (iOS doesn't let any app capture another app's call audio, or regular phone and FaceTime calls.) • Timestamped notes you can add while recording • Import M4A, WAV, and MP3 files for transcription and summarization • Select and copy any text from summaries, transcripts, and notes • Edit transcripts, summaries, and notes after the fact, and find text within a note • Organize meetings into folders and search by title or content • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Light and dark mode • Live Activity and Dynamic Island support on iPhone • Up to 8 hours of continuous recording • 15+ languages for live transcription, 25+ for AI summaries PRIVACY Transcription runs on your device using Apple's Speech framework, so your audio is never uploaded or processed on a remote server. When you generate a summary, only the text transcript is sent to our cloud AI service. No audio recordings ever leave your device. On iPhone and iPad you can also start a system screen broadcast so MoosePad can transcribe audio that other apps make available, such as media playing back. iOS does not share live call audio (Zoom, Teams, Meet, phone, or FaceTime) with any app, so to capture a call put it on speakerphone or use MoosePad on Mac, which captures that system audio directly. iOS shows a standard screen-broadcast warning about screen content and notifications, but MoosePad only uses the audio. Screen content, notifications, and video are never captured or stored. The audio is written to a local container on your device, transcribed on device, and discarded when the broadcast ends. LANGUAGES Live transcription is available in English (US and UK), Spanish (Spain and Mexico), French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Cantonese), Arabic, and Turkish. AI summaries are also available in Portuguese (Portugal), Dutch, Hindi, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Thai, and Indonesian. ACROSS YOUR APPLE DEVICES One subscription covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your meetings sync through iCloud, so you can record on your phone and review on your Mac.
