China’s tech scene has introduced a new artificial intelligence gadget: a credit card-sized voice recorder from Alibaba’s DingTalk. This device, which debuted at an event marking DingTalk’s 10th anniversary, is designed to rival the popular US-developed Plaud. The AI-powered recorder offers features such as meeting transcription, summaries, and real-time translation in multiple languages. Developed in collaboration with Alibaba’s Tongyi AI lab, it can process over 100 languages and 30 Chinese dialects, making it a versatile tool for office workers. The DingTalk A1 is available in two models priced at 499 yuan and 799 yuan, offering a cost-effective alternative to the Plaud Note Pro, which is priced at US$179.
