What is ECHO by Dembrane?

ECHO is a voice recording and auto-transcription tool that helps capture insights from public meetings, interviews, or citizen assemblies. It turns spoken conversations into written transcripts and summary reports.

ECHO's features:

  • Phone recording of conversations

  • Auto-transcription from speech to text

  • Sensemaking applied to the transcript to identify key insights and the ability to do sensemaking across different transcripts.

  • Auto-generate meeting reports

Common use cases:

  • Citizen Assemblies

  • Street interviews

  • Council Meetings

How to integrate ECHO with your Go Vocal platform?

Currently the best way to use ECHO in correlation with your Go Vocal platform is to use the Go Vocal platform as the user facing projects and communication point, and use ECHO as the place to collect insights and analysis insights.

For example for a Citizen Assembly: Use Go Vocal platform to set up an event page, add a screenshot of the ECHO QR code to your event description. You can always have a pre-event phase to collect ideas for the assembly day. Then use a post-event phase in Go Vocal to share insights and reports from ECHO.

In this future we hope to have a full integration where you will be able to bring insights from ECHO into your ideation project for example, so we can support offline ideation projects better!
