About iFLYTEK Smart Recorder

iFLYTEK Smart Recorder is a family of dedicated AI voice recorder devices (Smart Recorder, AI Recorder S6, and AI Recorder P1 Pro) paired with companion app and cloud software for converting spoken conversations into text. Built for meetings, interviews, lectures, and similar professional settings, the devices use multi-microphone arrays to capture clear, long-range audio with intelligent noise reduction, then transcribe speech to text in real time. Depending on the model, transcription can run on-device without an internet connection, supporting languages such as Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Russian, with translation available on higher-end models. The recorders identify and differentiate speakers and generate structured outputs including meeting summaries, keyword extraction, speaker highlights, to-do lists, and mind maps, while cleaning filler words. Recordings, transcripts, and notes sync across phone, tablet, and computer via the cloud or export over USB-C and Wi-Fi. iFLYTEK also bundles privacy and security features such as file encryption and device binding, targeting business users, journalists, and students.
