There are many situations where you want to take notes, such as during long meetings, unexpected phone calls, and interviews.
Using a voice recorder lets you listen back later, but it takes time to summarize the contents.
Now, an ideal voice recorder has arrived with functions that solve this problem by recording, transcribing, and even summarizing the content!
We will be reviewing the AI-agent-equipped voice recorder "TicNote," released by "Mobvoi," a Chinese tech company funded by Google and Volkswagen.

This is the "Mobvoi TicNote," a voice recorder with AI!
It's very simple and compact.

After checking the package, let's open it immediately!
The contents are as follows:

An adapter is not included, so you need to prepare one separately!
The "Mobvoi TicNote" unit has such a stylish look that you wouldn't even know it's a voice recorder at first glance.
We compared it to a card the size of an IC card, and the size is about the same.
It is also very thin at about 3mm.
And with a weight of about 29g, it's easy to carry around.
On the back of the unit, there is the charging port.
Charging is magnetic, so it's easy to attach and detach.
When you start charging, a charging icon appears on the display, making it easy to see the charging status.
Let's start the "Mobvoi TicNote"!
You can start it by pressing and holding the power button on the top right for 2 seconds.
The display shows that it's recording, which is easy to understand.
As for the recording modes, it has a "call recording mode" for recording phone calls and a "voice recording mode" for recording ambient sounds.
You can switch between them by simply sliding the button on the top left of the unit up and down.
Sliding the switch up puts it in call recording mode.
The red indicator makes it easy to spot.
If you attach it to the back of your smartphone during a call, it will record, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to take notes during an unexpected call!
Sliding the switch down switches it to voice recording mode.
It also features noise cancellation, so it records clear audio even in noisy surroundings.
You can use the included MagSafe-compatible case or magnetic ring to attach it to your smartphone and carry it with you.
You won't have to worry about losing it in your bag anymore.

You can also start recording from the app side if you are connected to the "Mobvoi TicNote" unit.
We tried opening a piece of recorded data.
Even for long recordings, a summary of the content is displayed at the top, making it easy to understand what it was about.
It transcribes the audio data recorded during meetings, summarizes it, and even outputs it in a mind map, which greatly reduces the time needed to review the content.
You can also check the mind map, which allows for a visual organization of your thoughts.
It explains the content by dividing it into key points like features, benefits, and things to note, making it easy to understand.
The "Mobvoi TicNote" is equipped with an AI agent called "Shadow" that you can talk to about the recorded content.
You can use both text and voice to chat with it.
