Dictation App: Echo

Voice Notes & Transcription

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Record a thought, keep the audio and transcript together, then find the exact line later. Echo also turns longer recordings into structured meeting notes. Capture a thought before it disappears. Echo is a focused voice-notes app for recording ideas, dictating text, and turning longer conversations into clear notes. RECORD, THEN FIND IT Tap once to start. Speak naturally. Echo keeps the audio with its transcript, so you can play it back, edit the text, and search for the exact line later. FOR QUICK NOTES AND MEETINGS • Dictate a thought, task, reminder, or idea • Record longer meetings and keep the complete transcript • Create structured meeting notes after transcription • Pause and resume a recording when you need to • Search notes and transcripts instead of scrolling • Listen back to the original audio • Export or share a note when you choose PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your recordings and notes stay on your device. Echo uses on-device speech recognition when it is available for your language. If you choose to share a note as a webpage, only that selected note and its date are sent to create a link; shared links expire after 30 days. MADE FOR THE MOMENTS YOU CANNOT TYPE Use Echo for a thought while walking, a quick voice memo between tasks, lecture notes, interview follow-ups, or meeting decisions and next steps. The Home Screen widget and Siri Shortcuts let you begin a recording quickly. Echo is built to feel calm: no ads, no account required, and no clutter between you and the thought you wanted to keep.
