Today, a second-tier Chinese manufacturer
announced the world’s first TWS that can convert voice to text. iFLYTEK
released its first TWS true wireless smart headset ‘iFLYBUDS’. Due to the
aforementioned functionality, it can replace voice recorders and other devices.
iFLYBUDS has three core AI functions: real-time call transfer, smart dial
recognition, and call translation comparison. Users can free their hands and
efficiently record and communicate in scenes such as self-driving, commuting,
and meetings.
In terms of real-time transcription, the
iFLYBUDS is suitable for regular calls and Internet calls. The latter includes
Skype, Zoom, and other major platforms. It can automatically distinguish the
current speaker for multi-person meetings. At the beginning of a call, the
iFLYBUDS can directly record with one key, and at the same time convert the
call voice into text. The accuracy rate is above 98%.
After the call is over, it can form an
intelligent summary and automatically extract key content. It supports quick
search of call content, smartphone and computer multi-terminal sharing, and
editing. In terms of smart dialing recognition, the iFLYBUDS supports multiple
ways to distinguish between duplicate names and homophonic problems of
contacts. Compared with voice assistants such as Siri, iFLYBUDS is more
natural. You only need to say the name to dial. And you can do it in one
sentence. It is a pure voice interaction without watching the screen.
In terms of call translation, the iFLYBUDS
can translate the content of the call into Chinese characters in real-time
during an English call. It has also made special optimizations for rare
professional vocabularies such as industry terminology and slang. The
manufacturer claims it will support more languages in the future. As for
appearance, the iFLYBUDS adopts a pearl white arc-shaped and semi-ear bionic
design. The single earbud weight is only 46 grams.
There is a flagship chip inside. So the
connection is stable. The delay is ultra-low. And it uses a 14mm super-large
vibration unit to make the sound quality true. Of course, our protagonist
supports smart noise reduction, based on dual-microphone pickup and CVC noise
reduction algorithm.
The iFLYBUDS smart headset is priced at
1399 yuan (US$ 205).
