Introduction (Does It Do What It Should)

So, I think we can all at least acknowledge that AI can help us occasionally, right? I mean, I’ve just noticed that you can use it to record something and then make a transcript of it. I am guessing this is the reason for the Mobvoi Ticnote.

This TicNote is a little rectangle that can attach on the back of your smartphone with the help of a handy-dandy pouch with a magnetic lock. If you have this guy, you can hit the record button and you will be able to get audio, and then you can hit another button and get a transcript. Then, the app will allow you to create some kind of fuctionality from it.

So, I will have to say that I really didn’t know what to do with the transcript other than needing it for backing up my sources. However, the app that the TicNote comes with allows you to take the transcript and create something out of it. Like I did a really interesting test, and the app suggested ways that I could make a lecture out of it. Yeah, I’m not really a fan of using AI like this.

I should probably talk about how long the battery life, as it has about 25 hours of battery life, and 20 days of standby. There is this interesting charging cord which allows for some interesting magnetic lock, and it takes about 1.5 hours to charge it.

If you want it, you can get it on the official website for about $159.99 in Gold, Blue, Black, and what you see here.

Facts About The Company

I will have to say that I don’t know if TicNote or Mobvoi is the company name, but they seem to have this only product that I can see. Yeah, the “About Us” page really talked about this product, really.

Yeah, I think this is about all I could see, really.
