How it works with English
The tool on this page already has English selected: Echo transcribes in that language, separates each speaker and marks the minute of each turn. If you prefer, you can change the language or let Echo detect it automatically. We’ve only measured accuracy in Spanish, so we won’t give you a figure for English: try it with your own audio.
What it’s used for

Frequently asked questions
Can I translate the transcript into Spanish?
With a free account, Echo translates the transcript into another language and keeps the time and speaker of each paragraph.
What if the meeting mixes English and Spanish?
Echo transcribes each file in one language. Choose the one spoken most; long stretches in the other may come out worse.
Does it spell names and industry jargon correctly?
Proper names and unusual jargon may be misspelt. With a free account you can add them to the glossary before transcribing.
