Echo

A portable device for recording sounds and memories. Capture, transcribe, remember.

A soap-sized recorder with one knob and one light. Press, talk, let go; the recording becomes a searchable note a few seconds later.

Echo, a small cream sound recorder with an orange-topped knob and a lanyard, next to a notebook

What it is

A tiny recorder for thoughts, sounds and small moments. One knob to record and scroll, one light that tells you it's listening.

Why I made it

My best ideas show up when my phone is in another room. Echo is small enough to keep in a pocket and simple enough to use without looking.
