Design Details

Unique Properties
iFlytek SR702 is an intelligent recording device that supports recording, extracting, editing and other functions of information. Offline transliteration function is firstly released in the industry to further solve users’ privacy concerns without network. The product supports PPT/image text extraction, and at the same time supports 8 languages and 12 Chinese dialects transliteration, which creates a new AI interactive experience of recording important information in multi-scene.
Inspiration
iFlytek SR702 subverts the traditional recording pen. Under the application of AI, it could transcribe the voice into text instantly, the accuracy rate of transliteration is as high as 98%.
Research
SR702 subverts the traditional recording pen market. The noise reduction algorithm independently developed by iFLYTEK can intelligently eliminate different environmental noise. IFLYTEK intelligent recording pen ranked first in signal-to-noise ratio values when the China Institute of Information and Communications tested the sound pick-up effect of iFLYTEK intelligent recorders and other recording pens available in the simulated noise environment.
Challenge
Large screen recorder is often difficult to break through the traditional shape design. We should not only look for inspiration on the previous series of products, make innovative design, but also ensure the integrity of the structure and the possibility of mass production when designing this product. The product not only achieves innovation in appearance design, but also ensures the optimization of product function.
Realization and Technology
With the industry's absolute leading artificial intelligence technology, the device is more intelligent and far friendlier for using than ordinary recording pens.Transcription engine is further upgraded and offline transliteration function is firstly released in the industry to further solve users’ privacy concerns without network.
Operation and Interaction
Although SR702 adopts the touch screen, the common functional keys, such as volume adjustment, one-key recording, voice key and power key, are preserved to make it convenient for users to operate easily, which is similar to smart phone. There is an 8-mega-pixel digital zoom camera on the back, which can take photos and record videos more clearly and improve the accuracy of text recognition by combining with technology of night scene, HDR and intelligent anti-shaking.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in Shenzhen in November 2019, completed in Shenzhen in January 2020, and will be listed in August 2020
