Beta Program

Echophrase is currently in open beta. The free tier always offers 100% offline transcription, is unlimited, and account-free - signing in is only for Pro, and every signed-in user gets full Pro access at no cost while we polish the experience.

What You Get

Echophrase transcribes fully offline (after a one-time model download on first run) with unlimited transcriptions and no account at all. During the beta period, anyone who signs in additionally receives Pro tier automatically. Join the Discord to share feedback and help shape the app.

Unlimited Transcriptions

No daily or monthly caps on recording time.

All Models

Every bundled speech-to-text model, plus the Pro-only Transform model for grammar and punctuation.

Auto-Paste & Save

Transcriptions paste at your cursor, save to a file, or export as JSON with custom metadata.

Advanced Customization

Fine-tune hotkeys, UI layout, filler word removal, and number normalization.

Tier Comparison

The Free tier transcribes 100% offline and never requires an account or internet connection to work. During the beta, signing in additionally upgrades you to Pro at no cost - it’s entirely optional. The 5 second-5 minute recording length is a user-configurable setting (Settings -> Recording -> Max duration), identical on every tier - it is not a usage cap, and transcriptions themselves are unlimited on all tiers. Recording simply auto-stops and transcribes at that length so a single clip can’t exhaust your GPU’s memory.

What Happens After Beta

Once the beta period ends:
  • Pro becomes a paid subscription (monthly or annual)
  • Free tier remains 100% offline for transcription and unlimited, no account required, forever
  • Your account and settings carry over seamlessly if you signed in for Pro
  • Every account then starts a fresh 14-day Pro trial - the trial doesn’t run during beta, since beta users already have Pro, so you get the full 14 days once beta ends
All voice processing remains 100% local regardless of tier. Your audio never leaves your machine.

Beta Participant Perk

As a thank-you for helping shape Echophrase during beta, you can lock in 50% off Pro for life. Apply the coupon code BETA50 at checkout on the pricing page. This is a grandfathered rate, not a first-year promo: once you subscribe with BETA50, you keep the 50% discount for as long as your subscription stays active. It only ends if you cancel.
You must lock in the rate before the beta ends. Once we launch, the BETA50 code stops working - so subscribe while the beta is still running to keep the discount for life.
