Cloud Power.
Offline Privacy.
Why trust a third-party server with your ideas? EchoWrite gives you the choice: use the lightning-fast OpenAI API or run high-performance Whisper models 100% locally. No internet, no subscriptions, no leaks.
From Voice to Text in Three Simple Steps
Configure Your Key
Paste your OpenAI API key once — or skip it entirely and use a local model. Your key is encrypted locally. We never see it.
Press Global Hotkey
Use the default Ctrl+Space or set your own. EchoWrite listens in the background while you stay focused on your active window.
Watch it Type
Release the key. Your audio is transcribed, optionally transformed, and typed out instantly where your cursor is.

Why choose EchoWrite over a monthly subscription?
Most apps charge you $20/month to "wrap" an API that costs pennies. EchoWrite is a pro tool: you pay for the software once, and you control your data and costs.
How "local" is the local mode?
Completely. When using local models, EchoWrite functions without an internet connection. Your GPU/CPU handles the heavy lifting, ensuring your data never touches the wire.
Do I need my own OpenAI API Key?
No — but you can. EchoWrite supports both modes. Use your own OpenAI key for maximum accuracy (BYOK), or run a local Whisper model completely offline and free. Your choice.
How much does the API cost?
Incredibly affordable. OpenAI's Whisper API costs $0.006 per minute — over 2 hours of audio for less than $1. For typical daily usage, your monthly bill will likely be just a few cents.
Is my voice data private?
Absolutely. EchoWrite processes your audio locally to prepare it, then sends it directly to OpenAI using your personal key. Your audio and transcriptions never touch our servers.
Does it work on Mac or Linux?
Currently, EchoWrite is built natively for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Mac support is not currently planned.
