Thanks for meeting me. Before we start, this recording stays on my phone. That helps. Most of what I can share is about patient intake. Good. We can stop whenever you like.

Questions
Does anything I record leave my phone?
No. Audio and transcripts stay on the device unless you export or share them yourself. The app only goes online when you download a larger model or buy or restore Pro.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and nothing to log in to.
How is my data stored?
Recordings and transcripts are encrypted with AES-256 on your phone, with the keys held in its secure storage. You can also turn on an app lock.
What happens if I lose my phone or delete the app?
There is no cloud copy, so your transcripts go with it. Export anything you want to keep somewhere else.
How accurate is it?
It depends on the language, the speaker, the recording and the model. Larger models are more accurate. Try your own audio on Tiny and Base, which are free.
Is it HIPAA compliant?
EchoLocal has no HIPAA or SOC 2 certification. Keeping audio on the device can support your obligations, but check with your compliance team before using it for regulated work.
Which phones does it run on?
iPhones on iOS 16 or later and Android phones on Android 10 or later. If a model is too large for your phone's memory, the app marks it "Not recommended" and says why.
Your next recording can stay on your phone.
