Meeting note-takers may not find a full UK kit: the store listed only a sold-out single recorder at £110.99.
Kenning's take
What it does
soundcore Work is a coin-sized AI voice recorder from Anker that clips to a collar, hangs on a necklace or sticks to the back of a phone. One button press starts recording, and the soundcore app then transcribes the audio, tells speakers apart and writes a structured summary.
- 10 g coin-sized recorder with one-button recording
- transcription in 150+ languages with speaker labels
- GPT-powered meeting summaries with templates
- recordings encrypted and stored on the device by default
- 300 free transcription minutes a month on the Starter tier
Who it suits. Suits people who sit in lots of meetings, interviews or lectures and want them written up without typing notes.
