Echo: Voice Recorder & Memo

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.

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

▶️ Listen your way

🔒 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

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.
