As more of us use video meetings and phone calls in place of face-to-face meetings, there’s a growing demand for intelligent speaker phones and docking stations that can provide a communications hub for recording calls and transcribing them into text and summaries of interviews and meetings. Journalists particularly appreciate this kind of technology because it can free them up from the tyranny of notetaking, enabling them to focus on the conversation. HiDock is a company that was founded in 2014 and has developed advanced audio DSP technology that’sbeen applied to more than 500,000 devices across various sectors, ranging from smart home appliances to automobiles and teleconferencing devices.
The HiDock H1 is the combination of an advanced speakerphone and docking station that’s competing with Logitech’s Logi Dock. It’s been designed to boost productivity in the form of a compact 11-in-1 dockpowered by ChatGPT. The H1 can transform recorded conversations into fully structured transcriptionsand can also capture ideas, notes and summaries of meetings from any audio source by using the power of Artificial Intelligence.
The new HiDock H1 has been specifically designed for business professionals, content creators and students who might be attending online lectures. It’s suitable for anyone who needs to take notes or transcribe a conversation. The H1 uses the latest AI technology to boost productivity, doing away with the need for scruffy paper notes.
However, the H1 claims to be more than just an advanced speakerphone. It’s also an intelligent personalassistant that can harness ChatGPT technology to make intelligent AI transcriptions and summaries. Atthe press of a button, users can capture important conversations and the audio can automatically be transcribed and summarized using proprietary software called HiNotes.
The combination of ChatGPT and HiNotes lets users stay focused on important meetings and conversations instead of being distracted by the need to make notes. The important content and details are faithfully captured for closer scrutiny after the call has ended. The conversations are stored on the H1’s internal flash storage.
Each recording can last up to four hours. The H1 also has HiDock’s technology called Bidirectional Noise Cancellation which minimizes distracting sounds from both ends of a conversation. In other words, it cancels noise in the room where the call is being made and cleans up the call quality from the person on the other end of the call.
The technology is a step up from the standard Active Noise Cancellation technologies we’ve become used to because it provides improved clarity for both the speaker and the listener. The HiDock H1 can also boost productivity beyond the conference room. By using the latest Bluetooth 5.
2 technology, the H1 can connect with smartphones, letting users record their phone conversations, podcasts and other audio such as a lecture or meeting. This feature provides another layer of convenience with the audio being transcribed into a set of well-structured notes. The second feature of this high-end speakerphone is its ability to function as a hub.
The HiDock H1 is an 11-in-1 docking station featuring four USB-C ports, a USB 3.2 port, a USB 3.0 port, two HDMI ports, 2.
5Gbps Ethernet and two memory card slots which can be used to grab audio files from a digital recorder or other recording device. The design of the H1’s docking features enables essential devices and peripherals to be connected to a laptop for streamlined productivity. The HiDock H1 also includes a clip-on earphone that connects to the H1 via a proprietary protocol that enhances call security and ensures privacy when the H1’s loudspeaker might distract colleagues or if privacy is essential for personal calls.
The earpiece lets users take short breaks during lengthy meetings while always being connected. The HiDock H1 is compact enough to be portable and taken anywhere. It can turn a hot desk or office pod into a communications hub.
With its user-friendly and ergonomic design, as well as revolutionary ChatGPT integration, the HiDock H1 is a useful application of AI that can save time and boost productivity. The secret to the H1’s power is HiNotes, the ChatGPT-powered software that uses AI to turn calls and meetings into editable text. Anyone buying the HiDock will get unlimited transcription minutes, four summary templates, multiple AI engine options, VoiceMark, export transcription and summary in TXT format, calendar integration and support for 75 languages.
For heavy users of the transcription service, there is also a Pro Membership tier of HiNotes which costs $12.99 for 1,200 minutes of audio transcription or an annual payment of $199 provides a year’s unlimited transcription. The Pro Membership also provides speaker identification, unlimited AI summary templates and customization.
