EchoFox

EchoFox is a chat-based AI transcription tool for busy professionals who receive WhatsApp voice notes and want readable text without listening.

Key capabilities include:

• WhatsApp-native transcription: add it as a contact, then forward voice messages to receive the transcription directly in WhatsApp.
• Summaries on demand: generate summaries to quickly capture the key points from long or tangled audio.
• Multilingual transcription: auto-detects language and supports 90+ languages.
• Searchable archive: keep transcriptions as searchable text to find details later.
• More than voice notes: transcribes audio files, videos, and YouTube links.

Pricing: Free tier (200 minutes credit, voice notes up to 3 minutes, normal queue) plus paid subscriptions starting at $5.97/month (also listed at $27/month), with a free trial.

What makes it notable is its WhatsApp-first workflow (no separate app required) paired with a privacy-first approach using end-to-end encryption and temporary storage (transcriptions kept for 24 hours), plus longer audio support (up to 20 minutes per audio on paid plans) and a dedicated transcription queue on paid tiers.
