Echo - Private, offline speech-to-text that respects your data

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Damien, the maker of Echo. Echo is a private, offline, and fast speech-to-text app. Your audio is processed locally on your machine — nothing is ever sent to the cloud. The goal: make it as easy as talking to yourself, but with accurate transcripts you can actually use. Why I built it: - I dictate a lot of notes, ideas, and tasks. - Most tools are either expensive or send everything to remote servers. - I wanted something I’d feel safe using for both personal and work stuff. What makes Echo different: - Fully local transcription (no third-party servers). - Optimized for speed and everyday use. - Open source, so you can inspect the code and contribute. I’d love your feedback on: - Transcription quality and latency. - Overall UX and workflow. - What you’d like next (export formats, shortcuts, integrations, more languages, etc.). Thanks a lot for checking out Echo and sharing your thoughts! 🙏
