About
Echosy is a macOS app for private, on-device audio transcription and dictation. It records microphone and system audio at the same time and generates real-time transcripts with timestamps using local ASR models such as Qwen3-ASR and Whisper (including MLX Whisper with GPU acceleration). It also supports drag-and-drop transcription for common audio and video formats, plus a searchable session history with playback. For post-processing, Echosy includes text enhancement options like translation and punctuation correction, and it can produce streaming summaries and transcript Q&A through compatible LLM APIs (including local Ollama or OpenAI-compatible services). The product emphasizes that audio stays on the Mac and does not require a network connection for transcription.
