Echo: Voice Recorder
Audio Memos & Speech to Text
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Interviews, lectures, meetings — recorded and transcribed entirely on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and it works in airplane mode.
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.
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, 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
- Tap any word in the transcript to jump to that moment in the audio
- Karaoke-style highlighting that follows along as you listen
- Copy or export the full transcript as plain text
- Works in many languages, depending on what your device supports
FIND ANYTHING YOU SAID

EDIT LIKE A PRO
- Trim, split, merge, delete sections, and fade — all on-device
- Rename, re-record, and clean up without sending audio anywhere
LISTEN YOUR WAY
- Playback speed from 0.5x to 3x, silence-skip, A-B repeat, skip forward and back

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

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.
