I'll try for the last time: SoX has no such functionality,
whatever magic you think you are doing with the echo effect.

This is far from even being a valid SoX command line. Apparently,
you haven't bothered to read at least the Introduction in the SoX manual.

Yes. That's called speech recognition. SoX cannot do anything like that.

Yes. That's called speech recognition. SoX cannot do anything like that.

Let's start with humans understanding written text: go away.
