Echos 0.4.0 adds on-device voice keyboard, audio import, and database encryption

Echos releases version 0.4.0, which adds an Echos Keyboard that transcribes speech on-device and inserts the text into other apps, with contextual autocorrect and a personal dictionary.

The update also adds audio file import, folders for sessions, Markdown export, and complete database encryption.

The developers say Echos is free and open source, and that speech recognition, autocorrect, and word suggestions all run on the user's phone. The source is a single launch post on X, and the report does not include independent verification of these claims.
