I'm using the free version just for plain transcription and it does the job very well. I don't really need the extra prompt stuff right now, but the fact that it's a one-time payment if I ever want to upgrade makes me think I probably will at some point. So far it's been reliable. Sure, there are occasional little hiccups with Whisper itself (accents, background noise, etc.), but that's the model, not the app. Every single tool like this is built on Whisper anyway, whether it's OpenAI's cloud version or local. Since this one lets you do unlimited free transcription (modulo API costs if you go cloud), it's hard to complain. For free? Massive yes from me.
Really solid on Windows. I've tried several similar transcription tools before, but this one feels much better integrated into the system. The customizable global shortcuts are a game changer, you can either just do plain transcription or trigger your own custom prompts/actions with different hotkeys. A lot of competitors do roughly the same thing, but EchoWrite stands out because the basic transcription is essentially free (you just need your own OpenAI API key, which costs next to nothing). If you want the custom prompts and translations, it's a one-time payment instead of yet another subscription. In 2026 that's actually pretty fair compared to everything else out there. Big thumbs up.
This is honestly exactly what I needed. The core transcription works great, and I really love that it gives you proper local Whisper models so you can use it completely offline without any internet. Super useful. I mostly use the custom prompts for emails, like turning my rambling voice notes into clean, professional-sounding messages, and it saves me so much time. Pretty much everyone doing this kind of thing probably uses it the same way lol. Only downside is I really hope they bring it to macOS one day. My main desktop is Windows and it runs perfectly there, but my laptop is a Mac and it would be awesome to have the same workflow when I'm working on that machine. Apart from that, I'm loving it.
