Transcription runs on device; recordings are not uploaded for transcription.
Private · On-device AI
Keep every important conversation in your hands.
EchoNote brings long-form recording, live transcription, and quick markers into one clean interface. AI transcription runs locally on your iPhone, so recordings do not need to be sent to EchoNote servers for transcription.

Stay in the moment. Return to what matters.
Live text helps you follow the conversation. Markers turn important moments into signposts. Selecting a marker starts playback a few seconds early, preserving the context around each point.
See words as you record
Follow the transcript in real time, instead of leaving information hidden inside a waveform.
Mark what matters
Tap once during a session. When replaying, start just before the marker to hear the full thought.
Lock the screen. Keep recording.
Check status without keeping the screen awake—ideal for meetings, interviews, and classes.
Built for long sessions
Choose for detail, balance, or space.
Long sessions do not all need the same format. Pick the recording mode that fits the room, the purpose, and your available storage.
Lossless
Preserve as much audio detail as possible for important recordings, post-production, or long-term archives.
Standard
A practical balance of sound quality and file size for everyday meetings and classes.
Space Saving
Reduce storage use for longer voice notes and recordings meant primarily for review.
Your audio. Your boundary.
Your recordings stay on device for transcription.

Export without lock-in
When recording ends, your files remain accessible and exportable.
Export audio and transcript files when you need to deliver, archive, or continue working. Save to Files, local storage, or a destination you select in the iOS share sheet.

FAQ
Good things to know.
Does EchoNote upload recordings for transcription?
No. The AI used for transcription runs on device, and EchoNote does not send your recording to its own servers for transcription.
Can it keep recording with the screen locked?
Yes. After a recording begins, EchoNote can continue in the background and show status through the system interface. Actual duration depends on battery, available storage, and iOS conditions.
What is different about marker playback?
Add markers while recording. Selecting one during playback starts a few seconds before the marked moment, so you hear the context that led into it.
What can I export?
You can export recorded audio and transcript or subtitle content using destinations and sharing methods provided by iOS.
What should I know before recording other people?
Consent requirements vary by location. Tell participants and obtain any permission required by applicable law before recording.
Record what matters. Not your privacy.
EchoNote keeps recording, live transcription, and markers on your iPhone, while letting you choose when and where to export.
