Private meeting capture
Echoic records from your Mac without adding a meeting bot, which keeps sensitive conversations calmer and easier to explain.
Why Echoic
Private voice intelligence that feels native to your Mac.
Echoic is for people who need reliable meeting recall and everyday dictation without moving the whole workflow into a cloud meeting bot.
Meetings and dictation together
Use the same native app for live meetings, transcript review, and quick system-wide dictation into the apps where work happens.
Local-first speech processing
Speech recognition runs on your Mac by default, with optional AI providers available when you choose extra summarization or cleanup.
Advanced controls stay available
Technical users can choose engines, providers, exports, and routing without making the first-run experience feel like infrastructure.
Try Echoic on your next conversation.
