Overview

Echoes is a real-time emotion-aware mental health companion that analyzes both what you say and how you say it to provide empathetic, context-aware support. The system combines speech-to-text transcription, emotion detection from voice patterns, AI-powered conversational therapy, and natural voice responses to create a compassionate digital therapist that truly listens.

Unlike text-only chatbots, Echoes captures emotional nuance in your voice, detecting stress, fear, sadness even when words seem neutral, and responds with understanding tailored to both your words and your feelings.
