Description
echo99 is a macOS application designed to record and transcribe calls locally on your device. It supports popular platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, ensuring that all recording, transcription, and speaker labeling occur on your Mac. This app operates entirely offline after initial setup, maintaining user privacy by keeping all data on the device. Users can record calls automatically or manually, with the app capturing both microphone and system audio as separate WAV files. The transcription process is powered by NVIDIA's Parakeet models, offering support for 25 European languages, and includes speaker labeling that distinguishes between different participants. echo99 also provides AI-generated summaries of calls, highlighting key points, decisions, and action items. The app is free to download and use, requiring no account or subscription. It is compatible with macOS 14.4 or later and supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. echo99 is developed by Tomas Zeman and operated by Wirenode s.r.o., based in Prague, Czech Republic.
