First Neato Echo build for the team. Windows 10 (2004+) / Windows 11, 64-bit.
What's in this build
- Local-first by default. No account, no sign-in, nothing uploaded. Dictation runs on your PC with NVIDIA Parakeet; meetings are captured from your speakers and mic and transcribed locally.
- Fast dictation. AI cleanup is off by default so text lands as soon as you release the key. Turn it on in Settings if you want polished prose.
- Meeting detection. Neato Echo notices meeting audio and Zoom, Teams and Webex, and offers to take notes.
- Summary presets. When a recording ends you can pick Team Meeting, Interview, Sales Call, One-on-one or Customer Support, or add your own. Presets are editable under Notes → Actions.
- Neato Ventures branding throughout: new icon, name and colors.
Installing
- Download
Neato-Echo-Setup-1.0.0.exebelow and run it. - This build is not code-signed yet. If Windows SmartScreen appears, choose More info → Run anyway.
- On first run, pick On your device and let it download the speech model (about 700 MB). Enable summaries to download a language model as well.
- Hold Ctrl+Win and talk. Change the hotkey in Settings if you like.
Neato-Echo-Portable-1.0.0.exe runs without installing, for trying it out.
Built from the OpenWhispr project (MIT).
