dembrane is a transcription, analysis (sense-making) and reporting platform built for in-person, multilingual conversations. It's a complete solution for real-world stakeholder-engagement scenarios where reliability and ease of use matter. dembrane started under a "move fast and break things" philosophy while serving early partners. To better serve the public, we're moving to a privacy-first and security-first approach.

> dembrane was formerly called ECHO. The old name still turns up in a few places, including this repository's name, its container images, and its Kubernetes namespaces.

exception is the participant record button, still labelled "ECHO" in the portal UI
