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

  1. Download Neato-Echo-Setup-1.0.0.exe below and run it.
  2. This build is not code-signed yet. If Windows SmartScreen appears, choose More info → Run anyway.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
