Frequently Asked Questions

Echo is a voice dictation and voice command app for macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android, all live today. Hold a key and speak, and your words appear as text wherever the cursor is, in any app. Hold the command key instead and Echo acts on what you say: opening apps, sending messages you dictate, and answering questions about what is on your screen. It supports code-switching between English, Hindi, Marathi, and Kannada.

Echo supports four languages:

• English
• Hindi
• Marathi
• Kannada

Echo's unique feature is code-switching: you can seamlessly switch between languages mid-sentence, and Echo will transcribe accurately. For example, "I went to the दुकान to buy some ಸಾಮಾನು" works perfectly.

Echo has two gestures. One writes what you say. The other acts on it. Hold the command key, speak, and Echo can:

• Open apps by name.
• Send messages you dictate to a person in an app.
• Answer questions about what is on your screen.
• Remember and recall screens: capture what you are looking at and bring it back later by voice.
• Run multi-step routines: chain several actions into a single phrase.

Connecting a service is optional; dictation works on its own.

Desktop (Mac and Windows):

Step 1: Download Echo from finalleap.co/echo: the .dmg for macOS or the installer for Windows.
Step 2: Install it (drag Echo to Applications on Mac, or run the installer on Windows) and open it.
Step 3: Grant microphone and accessibility permissions when prompted.

Mobile (iPhone and Android):

Step 1: Download Echo from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
Step 2: Open Echo and grant microphone permissions when prompted.

Then, on any platform: sign up with your email to start your 14-day free trial (no card required), and start speaking.

Yes. Echo works system-wide across your device, on desktop and mobile. On Mac and Windows it types into any app with a text field: Messages, Mail, Google Docs, Notion, Slack, WhatsApp Web, VS Code, and more. On iPhone and Android it works wherever you can type. As long as there is a text input, Echo works.

No. Your voice audio is processed transiently and immediately discarded after transcription. We send audio to Sarvam AI (an Indian AI company) for transcription, but the audio is not stored by us or by Sarvam AI.

Only the transcribed text is saved in your Echo history for your reference. You can delete your transcription history at any time from the app.

Echo offers a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card is required to start the trial. After 14 days, you'll need to subscribe to continue using Echo. If you don't subscribe, your trial ends and you lose access to the app.

Monthly Plan: ₹1,499/month, billed monthly
Annual Plan: ₹8,994/year (₹749/month), billed annually, save 50%

Echo runs on four platforms:

• macOS: version 12.0 (Monterey) or later, Apple Silicon or Intel.
• Windows: Windows 10 or later.
• iOS: iPhone on iOS 16 or later.
• Android: Android 9 or later.

On every platform you also need microphone access and an internet connection for transcription.

No. Echo requires an active internet connection to process voice transcription via Sarvam AI. The transcription happens in real-time over the network. Without internet, Echo cannot function.

Echo uses Sarvam AI's state-of-the-art speech recognition models trained specifically for Indian languages and accents. Accuracy depends on:

• Audio quality (use a good microphone)
• Background noise (quieter is better)
• Speech clarity and speed

In optimal conditions, Echo achieves 95%+ accuracy. For technical jargon or rare words, accuracy may vary.

Code-switching is the ability to seamlessly switch between languages within a single sentence. For example:

"I need to buy सब्ज़ियाँ from the market today"

Echo automatically detects when you switch from English to Hindi (or any combination of the four supported languages) and transcribes accurately without requiring you to manually change language settings.

Echo is purpose-built for multilingual users, and it does more than transcribe:

• Code-switching: Echo handles language mixing mid-sentence; built-in dictation does not
• Indian languages: Echo supports Hindi, Marathi, and Kannada with high accuracy tuned for Indian accents
• Always-on hotkey: hold one key anywhere, anytime, no app-switching required
• It acts, not just writes: built-in dictation only writes text, while Echo can also open apps, send messages, and answer questions about your screen
• History: Echo stores your dictations for reference

On desktop, if the dictation hotkey isn't working:

• Make sure Echo has the permissions it needs: on macOS, enable it under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility; on Windows, allow Echo in your microphone and privacy settings
• Check if another app is using the same hotkey, and disable the conflicting shortcut
• Restart Echo and try again
• If the issue persists, email echo@finalleap.co with your platform, OS version, and device
