Very practical with excellent recording quality
This recorder exceeded my expectations. It captures sound very clearly, even in noisy environments. The real-time transcription feature is quite accurate and has made it much easier for me to take notes during meetings. It’s compact, stylish, and very easy to use. I also love the voice-activated recording — super convenient. Definitely a useful tool for both work and study.

A Game-Changer for Note-Taking!
The setup was remarkably easy, and I was recording within minutes. The 2-inch touch screen is user-friendly and responsive, making navigation a breeze—even for someone not particularly tech-savvy.The audio quality is fantastic! Whether I’m recording lectures or interviews, the clarity is impressive, ensuring that I capture every word without missing a beat. The playback feature is a lifesaver; I can easily review recordings and pull out key points for my notes.What truly sets this device apart is the transcription feature. The accuracy is astonishing, saving me so much time on manual note-taking. I can easily convert my recordings into text, which is incredibly helpful when I’m preparing for exams or writing papers

POOR AI CAPABILITIES WITH EXPENSIVE PRICE TAG
I was so excited about this purchase. I use it in a courtroom setting. The device is literally inches away from a witness and there are no extrinsic sounds to interfere with the recording/translation. The audio recording is quite good; however, if you decide to purchase this device and embrace technology with an eye turned to making transcription easier, this is NOT the device for you.It is going back. It only took an hour of use to figure out it is an expensive device that doesn’t meet my needs…not even close. I hope this review is of some help to others considering an AI device.As compared to competitive AI recorders, this device gets a 2 out of 10. It is an outstanding idea. Maybe in 2 or 3 years the translation capabilities will match the expensive price tag of this device…

The iFLYTEK Voice Recorder has been a game changer for my work and studies. The 2-inch touch screen makes it intuitive and easy to navigate. Recording quality is crisp and clear, perfect for lectures, conferences, and interviews. What really sets this device apart is the transcription to text feature, which is accurate and saves so much time when reviewing notes. Playback functions are smooth, and the audio zoom feature ensures I capture even distant voices. This recorder has elevated my productivity, making it an essential tool for anyone needing reliable, high-quality recordings with added transcription capabilities.

Great Voice Recorder for Lectures and Meetings
I’m really impressed with the iFLYTEK Voice Recorder. The sound quality is excellent, even in noisy environments, making it perfect for lectures, meetings, and interviews. The transcription feature is a huge time-saver—it quickly converts recordings into text with good accuracy, which is super helpful for reviewing notes. The 2-inch touchscreen is easy to use, and navigating through recordings is a breeze. It’s also compact and lightweight, so it’s easy to carry around wherever I go. The playback feature is smooth, and I love that I can adjust the speed to go through recordings faster or slower, depending on what I need.

Almost there but my phone does it better for free even off line.
The iFLYTEK SR302 feels solid and well-built, with a responsive interface and sleek, modern design. The screen is reminiscent of an iPod Nano—bright, crisp, and clear. Battery life is solid, and overall, the build quality is impressive.Recording quality is decent, and the live transcription feature is a nice touch. While the transcription accuracy isn’t perfect, it’s not unusable either—good enough for basic review. I didn’t see a significant improvement when using the re-transcription feature, though there might be minor gains.One of the device’s strongest points is its commitment to privacy: it runs completely offline, making it a secure choice for transcription without cloud dependencies. If privacy is a top concern, this may be as good as it gets for an offline device in this category.Unfortunately, it falls short for my needs. Despite trying various microphone configurations, a decent-quality smartphone from the last three years (like a Galaxy S23 or even a 2022 model with local AI features) consistently outperformed the SR302 in both audio recording and transcription, especially in dynamic environments like conference calls or noisy D&D sessions in a game store. The only area where the SR302 held a slight edge was in capturing audio from a lecture or keynote-style environment.A major disappointment was the lack of Bluetooth connectivity or any seamless way to manage or share files through a phone, must USB to a PC. This limits its convenience as a portable solution. And most notably, it does not support speaker differentiation, which was a key feature I was hoping for and is pretty much standard with today’s transcribers. That omission alone puts it behind many current mobile options that offer at least basic diarization features natively.I wanted a dedicated push-button recorder I could rely on. Something that frees up my phone, doesn’t require a subscription, and delivers solid offline results. While the SR302 comes close, it’s not quite there. If it had included speaker differentiation, it might’ve been a keeper despite the not-so-stellar transcription accuracy.Bottom line: For students, journalists, or those regularly attending lectures or conferences, this could be a great tool. But for anyone needing reliable offline transcription across varied environments, your smartphone is still the better, and often cheaper, choice. As it stands, the SR302 is the best dedicated offline solution I’ve tested so far, but not quite good enough to justify the price.

Amazing! This is my second try at finding a AI recorder/transcriber. The first one required a pay as you go on line transcription service, very expensive. It also was a system needing your phone connected. This unit is off line and self contained. Not only does it record your voice or any other source, but then transcribed to text as well, and does a very god job at that.

My job demands extremely tight information security. I checked out all the voice recorders on Amazon, and most require an internet connection.First, I tried Plaud Note, an online recorder that promises data encryption and only processes data with permission. But it’s a hassle—you have to download an app to use it.Then, I opted for an iFLYTEK recorder. Unlike Plaud, iFLYTEK works offline, with one-click recording and a touchscreen that’s just right for me.However, both iFLYTEK and Plaud struggle with transcribing some professional terms. I’ve tried many online apps before, but none of them have been satisfactory.Considering iFLYTEK’s higher price, I expect better transcription accuracy. They really need to improve in this area.While online recorders like Plaud Note offer more features, iFLYTEK’s offline setup nails my security needs, so I’m sticking with it.I’ll continue using it for a while and come back with an updated review.

I was finding a device could really boost my efficiencyI bought another smart recording device from iFlytek, a professional brand I’d heard of before.I found some awesome features like real-time transcription also you can mark key points during playback, which really speeds up meetings.Although it cannot translate 100% correctly, the accuracy is still acceptable.Plus, the sound quality is really solid.I’d recommend it if you need to summarize recordings, but it’s a bit on the pricey side.

Was hoping to save myself a lot of time by dropping hundreds more than a typical recorder. Completely wasted my money on this paperweight. The transcripts are completely inaccurate. Require far too many edits to make it worth your time not to just transcribe yourself. I sometimes use the text function on my phone on prerecorded statements for work and get a far more accurate transcription
