Echo - Instant voice messenger with speech-to-text for remote teams

Echo is built by a fully-remote team for teams working remotely and is designed to compliment existing communication tools. You no longer need to choose between typing everything you have to say and “jumping on a quick call” — Echo fits right between the two.

Thank you ! And hello everyone. Excited to share this with you and hear your feedback once you give it a try. We built Echo for ourselves and been using and building it for a couple of months now. Few things I wanted to share: - Everything is free through the end of the year. We're after satisfied users and we'd like to offer you an opportunity to give it a try without figuring out if it's in your budget. - We're here to hear. Reach out to and we'll be happy to build based on your feedback. - We focused on creating a tool for your conversations to happen naturally, feel real, and make sure you're in control. - Team Sync and Team Async both find Echo useful. Our team is both — some of us are in the same timezone and some are across the world. Let us know if you feel like we missed something. I'm here if you have questions!
FINALLY SOMENE MADE THIS! 🤩🙌 I feel like it's adding wheels to luggage, should've been done a long time ago! Thank you!
Is this a one to one communication or is it one to many?
Maker
Ken, it's both - you could create channels/groups and talk to many people at once
even better! Thx
We built it with Slack in mind and with similar concepts — workspaces for separate teams, one to one, public and private channels.
Great idea! Tried it during a closed beta (thanks for the invite). Any plans for iOS version?
thank you Peter :) I'll put it this way — I have an iOS version on my phone but it's not ready yet. We're working on it.
iOS version is currently under intensive development. Coming soon.
Love this! I literally had the exact same idea floating around in my head for a while, after corona struck. Would like the ability to have the chat heads dock to the side of the screen, so users don't have to manually switch to the app to use it. :)

thanks for the feedback Paul! We definitely work on interface improvements
you know we had this at Yac for awhile and most users hated it. Designers found it always in the way and developers didn’t want it floating over their code. We ended up removing the feature
hi Paul, and thanks for the feedback. We did explore a few of those options but none ended up in the version we released since none of those were polished enough. As Justin mentioned below it's something that's difficult to get right but we think we have an idea and we will ship that in the future once we believe it's ready.
Looks awesome. One note -- a short video demo of the product on your website would be helpful.
Thank you Daniel! Yes — I agree and that's something we will work on, but we decided to go ahead and launch without a video. When you are saying a short demo – do you mean a simple video walkthrough of all features or more of a marketing video?
Why not both? :) A short demo/explainer video on the homepage, and a longer more detailed demo on the Features or Help page perhaps.
yep, that's the thinking. actually, if you look into the source of the homepage and features page you'll even see play buttons which were designed and developed but hidden because we did not have enough time to produce videos ;)
this could be pretty cool for our community Friday calls! Especially could see this becoming super useful for those in-between moments where a call is valuable but not valuable enough to warrant setting up a zoom call
this is exactly what we had in mind building it and exactly how we are using it. glad to hear we're on the right track ;) Please let us know how it goes!
Cool idea! Are there any audio editing features?
Hi Damion. No, Echo is designed for a natural conversation flow, click-say-send style.
Got it. Thank you.
