Hours lost to admin.
Sensitive data sent off-site.

Pastoral leads spend hours each week writing up safeguarding meetings by hand. And the cloud-based alternatives? They require sending some of your most sensitive student data to external servers.

Drowning in paperwork

Pastoral staff spend up to 5 hours per week manually writing meeting notes and reports that could be automated.

Cloud = risk

Most AI transcription tools send audio to external servers. For safeguarding meetings involving vulnerable children, that's an unacceptable data risk.

Inconsistent records

Handwritten notes vary wildly in format and detail. Key actions get missed. Reports lack the structure needed for audits and follow-ups.

Spiralling costs

Leading cloud competitors are charging upwards of £12,900/year — and rising. School budgets can't sustain that.

Three steps. Zero cloud dependency.

From recorded meeting to structured pastoral report — in minutes, not hours. Everything stays on your network.

Step 01

Record

Use any device — phone, tablet, or laptop — to record your pastoral or safeguarding meeting. Upload existing audio files if you prefer.

Step 02

Transcribe

EchoMemo's on-premise AI transcribes the audio with speaker identification — entirely within your school's network. Nothing leaves the building.

Step 03

Report

Get a structured pastoral report in seconds — with summary, key concerns, actions, and follow-ups. Save directly to OneDrive or SharePoint.

01

On-premise processing

Your data never leaves your building.

All AI processing runs entirely on your school's own hardware. Audio recordings, transcripts, and generated reports stay within your network at all times. No cloud uploads, no external API calls, no third-party data access. Complete data sovereignty from day one.

AI transcription with speaker ID

Know who said what, automatically.

EchoMemo's speech recognition engine identifies individual speakers throughout the meeting and labels the transcript accordingly. No manual tagging required. Multi-agency meetings with social workers, parents, and staff are all clearly attributed in the final output.

Structured pastoral reports

Professional reports in seconds, not hours.

Every report follows a consistent structure: meeting summary, key concerns raised, agreed actions with owners, and follow-up dates. Reports are formatted and audit-ready the moment they're generated. No more handwritten notes or inconsistent record-keeping.

Microsoft 365 integration

Saves directly to your OneDrive or SharePoint.

Completed reports are automatically saved to your school's OneDrive or SharePoint document library. No manual file transfers, no USB sticks, no email attachments. Reports land exactly where your team already works, with the folder structure you choose.

Works on any device

Upload from phone, tablet, or laptop.

EchoMemo runs as a native app on your phone or tablet. Record directly from your device's microphone or upload an existing audio file. Whether you're in a formal meeting room or doing a quick corridor catch-up, the workflow is the same.

GDPR-compliant by architecture

Privacy by design, not just by policy.

EchoMemo doesn't rely on policy documents for GDPR compliancy. The software is architecturally incapable of sending student data externally. There are no outbound data connections for user content. Your DPO can verify this independently.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Purpose-built for UK school safeguarding and pastoral teams. No bloat, no compromise on data privacy.

"EchoMemo has cut our pastoral admin time in half. Reports that used to take 45 minutes are done in under 5. And knowing the data never leaves our building gives us real peace of mind."

"We looked at three cloud-based alternatives before finding EchoMemo. The on-premise approach was the only option our DPO would approve for safeguarding meetings. Setup took less than a day."

"The speaker identification is a game-changer for multi-agency meetings. We can see exactly who said what, and the structured reports are audit-ready from the moment they're generated."

Common questions.

We supply an Apple Mac Studio as part of setup — it's included in the price. Your staff just use their existing phones, tablets, or laptops.
One day on-site once the hardware arrives. Mac Studio delivery is typically 1–2 weeks from Apple.
Yes, never. Transcription, speaker identification, and report generation all run on the Mac Studio in your building. No cloud AI, no external APIs, no data leaves your network.
All services auto-restart on boot, so a power cut fixes itself. Our support covers remote troubleshooting, and AppleCare+ covers hardware for three years. Your reports live in your OneDrive/SharePoint regardless — they're never locked inside EchoMemo.
In year one you'll need the hardware (£2,700–£3,500), then £2,000/year for software, updates, AI model upgrades, support, and staff training. No setup fees. Three-year total comes in around £8,700–£9,500, compared to £38,700+ for the leading cloud alternative.
Built around Microsoft 365. Reports save to your OneDrive/SharePoint, staff log in with their school Microsoft accounts. Works on any device with a browser. Nothing new to learn.
