Echo or Read AI: which one suits you?
Read AI is a meeting assistant with reports, mobile and desktop apps and many integrations. Echo is built for Spanish first and stores and processes your meetings on its own servers in the European Union. These are the differences, using the information on their website.
In short
Read AI joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, has apps for iOS, Android, Windows and Mac, and lists SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA; it offers EU hosting on its Enterprise+ plan. Echo stores and processes everything on its own EU servers on every plan, with its own AI, and adds subtitles, dubbing and clips. If your meetings are on Zoom or Meet or you need mobile, Read AI is the better fit.

Frequently asked questions
Can I switch from Read AI to Echo?
Yes. Download your recordings from Read AI and upload them to Echo, or import a public link. Echo transcribes them again with speakers separated. There’s no automatic importer.
Does Echo join Zoom or Google Meet?
For now, the assistant joins Microsoft Teams only. For Meet and Zoom in the browser there’s the Chrome extension, or you can upload the recording afterwards.
Does Echo analyse how the meeting went?
Yes. The Analytics tab shows who speaks and for how long, questions, monologues and interruptions, plus a meeting score. It’s calculated without AI, from the words and their timing.
Read AI’s details were checked on their website on 9 November 2026. They may have changed: check their pages before deciding.
