Eko · Use case
Voice-to-text for Slack and async work
Async work means a constant stream of Slack messages, thread replies, and status updates — typed one keystroke at a time, all day. Eko is a system-wide Mac app that lets you dictate straight into Slack’s message box: press a shortcut, speak your update, and it’s typed in ready to send. For distributed teams working across languages and time zones, that also means you can clean up tone and translate a message before it goes out.

Send messages without typing them
Press ⌥D and speak a message or thread reply. Eko types it directly into Slack’s message box, so you can keep up with a fast-moving channel without typing every word.
Fix tone before you post
Dictated messages can read as blunter than intended — easy to misread in text-only async chat. Select it and press ⌥C to fix grammar, or ⌥F to ask AI to soften or tighten the tone.
Translate for global teammates
Press ⌥T to translate a message in place before sending it to a teammate in another country. Eko supports 25 languages, useful for distributed teams.
Works across your whole toolchain
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Notion comments — Eko isn’t a Slack-only plugin. The same shortcut dictates and fixes text wherever your team communicates.

FAQ
Does Eko work in the Slack desktop app?
Yes. Eko is system-wide, so it types into Slack’s message box whether you use the desktop app or Slack in a browser — no Slack app or plugin to install.
Can it make my messages sound less blunt?
Yes. Select a dictated message and press ⌥F to ask AI to soften the tone, or ⌥C to fix grammar and punctuation, before you send it.
Does it work with Microsoft Teams and Discord too?
Yes — Eko works in any app with a text field, so the same dictate, fix, and translate shortcuts work in Teams, Discord, and Notion comments as well.
Do I need to install anything inside Slack?
No. Eko is a Mac app, not a Slack integration — it types into Slack’s message box the same way it types anywhere else, with no bot or app permissions to configure.
What does Eko cost?
Eko is $39 once, no subscription — including dictation, correction, translation, ask-AI, screen vision, and app-launching.
