Mac dictation that writes clean, polished text

About echo

echo is a dictation app for Mac that writes clean text where you were already typing: speak and it transcribes on your Mac in tenths of a second with no connection, then optionally polishes the text through your own Claude or ChatGPT session - removing filler words, adding punctuation automatically, detecting and mixing 25 languages, and formatting per app with per-app tone rules. Your voice never leaves your Mac; without polishing enabled, nothing leaves at all.
