ECHO, our conversation intelligence platform, processes thousands of hours of European government meetings, healthcare consultations, and legal proceedings every month.
We needed transcription that understood Dutch city council debates, German medical terminology, and French legal proceedings—all while guaranteeing data never left the EU.
After 3 weeks optimizing infrastructure, we realized: if we need this, so do thousands of other European teams. Starling is our commitment to share what we've built.
City councils, parliaments, and agencies recording public meetings and internal briefings
Patient consultations, clinical trials, and research interviews requiring strict compliance
Depositions, client meetings, and proceedings where data sovereignty is non-negotiable
Focus groups and interviews across Europe, analyzed without crossing borders
Subtitling, content analysis, and accessibility for European audiences
Lecture recordings, language learning, and research interviews in native languages
