Do we really need conference headphones?

What kind of experience it is to put the recording pen into the earphone ?

“ I often work lying down , I think the conference headset makes me feel really cool lying at home and working , And we want to give this super cool experience to everyone .”

5 month 17 Japan , At the new product launch of iFLYTEK conference earphones , Hu Yu, co-founder of iFLYTEK, said . Of course , Lying down for a meeting is just a lot of things brought about by conference earphones “ Xiao Zheng Xing ” One of .

2022 year , Many people work longer at home , One after another online meeting has become the daily work of workers . How to make the meeting experience better , More efficient , Especially those days N Meeting heavy users ？

from 2021 From the year onwards , IFLYTEK began to put the recording and transcribing function into more wearable devices ,iFLYBUDS A series of conference earphones is one of them .

iFLYBUDS Pro Conference headphones

iFLYBUDS The conference headset is officially positioned as “ Meeting artifact ”, New products released this year iFLYBUDS Pro It has been upgraded on the basis of the previous generation of products , It can record , Can transcribe , Can translate , Energy storage （ Transcription and translation need to be matched with iFLYTEK APP）.

“ The innovation of many new consumer goods , To a large extent, it comes from cross-border integration .” Jiangnanchun, founder of focus media, believes that . Conference earphones are AI+ Integration of meeting scenes .

The outside world often regards iFLYBUDS Conference earphones are regarded as TWS（True Wireless Stereo Real wireless stereo headset ） New sub categories in , But it is still wearable intelligent recording hardware in essence , So its competitive products are not ordinary TWS The headset .

Conference earphones are undoubtedly a new category created by iFLYTEK , How to update iteratively , IFLYTEK is also groping forward . not long ago , IFLYTEK future intelligence company CEO Maxiao once told the media ,iFLYBUDS Users of APP Activity is always maintained at 70%, The recorded cloud rate reaches 95%, At least from the side of the consumer's recognition .

What is the core value of conference earphones ？

“ There are many recording software on the market 、 The conference software has the function of recording 、 Transcribe and even translate , Why buy a separate conference headset ？” As one of the guests of the press conference , Get co-founder and CEO The problem of not taking off flowers , Very representative .

「 Intelligent evolution 」 Think , The core users of the conference earphones are first of all the heavy users of the conference , More 、 Meetings are frequent ; secondly , Business people who have a higher demand for meeting experience . The appeal of conference earphones to them is reflected in two aspects ：

One side , Flexible expansion and seamless connection of meeting scenarios .

First , Conference earphones should be able to meet the needs of recording meetings anytime, anywhere , No matter the meeting scene is the company 、 home , Or a coffee shop 、 Driving on the road , The meeting experience should not be interrupted by changes in the scene . Especially when scene switching , Conference earphones can free your hands , No need to be away from the meeting equipment at all times （ laptop 、 Mobile phone etc. ） Very close , Can freely switch the working state .

secondly , Deal with emergencies anytime, anywhere . When you are in an online meeting , Suddenly, an emergency call came from the leader or the customer , If you want to record it immediately , Pick up your phone and turn it on APP It's obviously half a beat behind , At this time iFLYBUDS Pro There is a one button flash recording function that will be more intimate .

On the other hand , Across multiple terminals , Integrated management of conference recording .

Data statistics , about 40%~50% The conference call is from the computer .iFLYBUDS Pro Support mainstream computer conference software , Including Tencent conference 、 anonymous letter 、 nailing 、Zoom、Teams etc. .

Plus face-to-face communication 、 On site meeting 、 Telephone 、 Wechat voice and other scenarios , Whether it's a mobile phone or a computer , Conference earphones are suitable for various meeting scenes , And all recording and transcribing files can be viewed and managed on a unified platform . Single conference software or recording software can not achieve this integration .

Besides , The conference headset also has some important auxiliary functions .

For example, translation function , With iFLYBUDS Pro For example , It supports 7 National language 、12 There are two Chinese dialects 、10 First record and then transfer or real-time transfer of words in professional fields .

Another example is noise reduction ,iFLYBUDS Pro All microphones and speakers have the function of reducing ambient sound , It can filter most of the ambient noise , Even if you speak in a noisy environment, it is clean for the other party to hear , Again , Receiving the other party's voice is also noise reduced .

AI+ Subdivide the scene , Wearable devices are becoming more and more “ heavy ”

In iFLYTEK's consumer business ,AI+ Office is the core scenario , Including smart office books 、 Recording pen 、 Recording headphones 、 IFLYTEK hears APP Products such as . at present , IFLYTEK maintains the position of the first brand of recording pen in China . According to the annual report ,2021 In, the intelligent recording pen business grew rapidly , The user growth rate has reached 43%.

A core function , Focus on different segments of the population , And continue to disassemble in the scene 、 To subdivide , It is a kind of play of iFLYTEK in consumer business in recent years . and , IFLYTEK has always hoped to give users a kind of “ It's worth more ” The feeling of .

2021 year 5 month , IFLYTEK has launched the first wrist recorder R1. Keep the heart rate of ordinary smart bracelet 、 Sleep and other health monitoring functions , It also has the function of recording and transcribing , And maintain the same price as the mainstream flagship bracelet , Naturally, it has attracted a group of young users to have a taste .

Smart Bracelet capable of recording iFLYTEK R1

“ We actually want to do Fair price and high quality Such a product , The price is approachable , But the service it can bring you is advanced . What does it depend on ？ Rely on artificial intelligence .” Hu Yu said .

AI+ Subdivide the scene , It has also become the same path for domestic and foreign technology giants in the field of wearable devices .「 Intelligent evolution 」 Think , This is making wearable devices more and more “ heavy ”：

First of all , More and more functional .

Little headphones 、 The bracelet can record 、 translate 、 Storage . such as iFLYBUDS Pro The left and right earphones are equipped with flash recording chips , Have 4 Hours of call recording storage space . Hu Yu introduces ,iFLYBUDS The team is also developing the function of automatically sorting meeting minutes , When the meeting is over, the main points will be extracted automatically .

not long ago , Google in I/O At the conference AR The glasses propaganda film is more sci-fi , You can see the translated text of the other party's speech in real time in your glasses , Of course, the product is still in the vision stage .

second , More and more technically .

The computing power of the underlying chip 、 The development of storage technology , Make wearable devices have more redundancy for function expansion in square space . such as , Now TWS The performance of the earphone processing chip even if active noise reduction is added 、 Call noise reduction 、 Low latency optimization 、 After multi device connection and other functions , Its processing capacity is still not fully released , You can also record 、 Text translation and other functions are integrated into it .

Third , The scene is getting heavier .

Some previously neglected scenes have been rediscovered . such as , Conference earphones make online classes 、 binge-watch 、 Face to face communication and other scenes that were inconvenient to listen while recording can be transcribed by recording .

At the end

Although the current recording and transcribing related software 、 There is a lot of hardware , But we can send out the meeting minutes after the meeting , There's still some distance to go . All formal audio recordings can not be separated from manual proofreading 、 The revision , Especially in specific industries with more professional vocabulary .

“ Used iFLYTEK , When Chinese and English are mixed , This is not very good , So use less . The accuracy of shorthand is still higher , Especially with an accent 、 Speaking fast or mixed Chinese and English .” A service multinational IT The senior manager of the enterprise's public relations company told 「 Intelligent evolution 」.

Her PR company holds a monthly event for clients 2-3 Press conference , The stenographer still goes to the scene to record , The price in 2 Hours 800 yuan . Before sending shorthand documents to media reporters , PR companies need to spend as much time as the meeting time to proofread , And will let the customer confirm the key content .

In the technology industry , The recording pen and transcribing software have become necessary tools for media reporters , But the role of stenographer in large-scale meetings is still irreplaceable .

Regarding this , The concept of technology companies is also very clear ,“ Let people return , Let technology belong to technology .”

“ Many people think that when this thing comes out , Secretaries and translators will be out of work . On the contrary , Their role is greater than before . Why? ？ Because what the machine does is not optimal , But on the basis of machines , The results of their work have been better reflected .” Hu Yu said .
