Mixed-language voice typing and dictation app for Mac, Windows and mobile
echo
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.
