From $50/month · Windows 10 and 11
What you get
No half-built panels, no settings that lead nowhere.
Dictation
Push-to-talk or toggle with a global shortcut. The text goes straight into the focused window. No copying between apps.
Dictionary
Spoken commands do what they say: period, new line. Your own terms keep their spelling, so Grok stays Grok and never turns into Groq.
History
Every transcript is stored on your PC and searchable, so something you dictated last week is still there.
Shortcuts
Choose your push-to-talk and toggle keys. They keep working while Echo is hidden in the tray.
Translation
Dictate in English and have it land in Spanish, or any of 99+ recognised languages, in a formal or casual register.
Footprint
A 3 MB installer that sits in the tray and gives its memory back while it waits.
Two voice paths
Dictation records, transcribes, and inserts text where your cursor is. Live calls stay live in both directions: they hear you in their language, and you hear them in yours.
Echo plans
Cloud credits included. Add the ADE any time, or take the bundle for both.

Before you install
Echo is Authenticode-signed through Microsoft Artifact Signing. Windows SmartScreen may still ask for confirmation while the signature builds reputation. That's expected for a new publisher.
Install Echo, hold your shortcut, and talk.
