Echosy

New in 1.2.0: real-time translation on the recording screen. Pick a target language and see each sentence translated below the original. Private, on-device.

Stop taking notes. Start listening.

Echosy records, transcribes, and summarizes your meetings, lectures, and interviews — so you can focus on the conversation instead of scribbling. Everything runs on your iPhone, using Apple Intelligence and on-device speech recognition. No cloud required. No subscription. No account.

KEY FEATURES

• On-device transcription in 60+ languages Powered by iOS 26's new continuous speech engine for English, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional, Cantonese, Hong Kong), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese — with seamless long-form recording and no 60-second break points. Other languages use Apple's built-in speech framework, supporting Hindi, Thai, Dutch, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian, and many more.

• Automatic AI summaries The moment you stop recording, Echosy drafts a structured summary — overview, key points, decisions, action items — using Apple Intelligence on-device. No prompt engineering, no API juggling. Just tap record, speak, and read the summary.

• Ask AI about your recordings Got a question about what was discussed? Open the chat drawer and ask. Echosy answers using the full transcript as context — completely offline.

• Bring your own AI (optional) Prefer a cloud AI provider instead of the on-device engine? Echosy supports a range of services through a standard API endpoint — including DeepSeek, local Ollama servers, and any compatible provider you configure. Flip one switch in Settings and Echosy routes summaries and chat through your preferred service.

• Fully private by default Audio never leaves your iPhone unless you explicitly enable a cloud provider. No account creation. No analytics on your voice. No training data. Just transcription.

• Re-transcribe, edit, and export Saved recordings can be re-transcribed in a different language, edited inline, and exported as Markdown, plain text, or the native .echo bundle.

• Beautiful, distraction-free interface Glass-morphism design, dark and light modes, onboarding that gets out of the way.
