A PERSONAL VIBE CODING PROJECT

Built for myself.
Grown through everyday use.

EchoScribe started as a private vibe coding project. I wanted a tool for myself, and the alternatives I found required paid subscriptions.

So I started building. A transcription tool became a place for summaries, translation, dictation and more. It has grown steadily, one useful feature at a time. The source is open for anyone to explore.
