EKHOS AI

EKHOS AI is Windows transcription software that converts audio and video files, and live microphone or speaker audio, into text. The vendor states that all processing happens offline on the user's computer, that transcripts are stored locally and encrypted in the local database, and that no telemetry or usage analytics are sent. The application supports 98 languages. The vendor aims the product at legal, medical, law enforcement, journalism, research and podcast work where confidentiality matters. A built in media player keeps the transcript in sync with playback, and users can search tracks, edit text and export transcripts. Speaker identification and labeling, unlimited file size, quantity and duration, and a bulk queue for batch work are part of the Premium plan. The Free plan costs nothing and allows one transcription of up to 30 minutes per day, for one user per computer. The Premium plan is listed at $9 per month when billed annually, also for one user per computer. The company describes itself as a small startup based in Australia, founded in 2024.
