Recently, Iflytek released a brand-new intelligent recording pen. As an old user in Iflytek, I want to start with this model as soon as possible. The most obvious upgrade of Iflytek recording pen is to support off-line transcription, adding an 8-megapixel high-definition camera, which can extract the text information from the pictures.
(The picture above is the actual result I used in a harsh network environment, and the accuracy is close to that of online transcription. )
I have to mention a pain point here. As a part-time digital self-media, it is one of my jobs to attend various press conferences. It is too OUT to record with a pen at the press conference. My colleagues and I mostly use all kinds of intelligent recording equipment. Interestingly, the transcription function needs network support. At the meeting place, thousands of online devices are online at the same time, and a large number of live videos occupy public bandwidth. It's terrible to think about it. Chatting on WeChat all day sometimes gets stuck. Online transcription is even more intermittent. Later, I thought 5G was my savior, but I was wrong. It's no use, at least for now, in most cases. 5G network coverage is not comprehensive, but 5G mobile phones have been popularized at the conference site (in our line, few people use 4G mobile phones). However, the off-line transfer of Iflytek recording pen has solved this problem. So, I got this Iflytek recording pen at the first time. Now, let me share my experience.
Appearance of Iflytek recording pen
Iflytek SR series recording pens all adopt CNC integrated shell design, which is more expensive than the general press molding. Among digital products, it is most common in high-end mobile phones. Iflytek recording pen SR502 is no exception, and its shell is made of anodized aluminum, which makes it feel delicate and smooth.
I have to admit that Apple has always been ahead of the industry in design style. This year, the iPhone 12 system has returned to the style of the 5th generation, and the Iflytek recording pen SR502 has also adopted a similar style. The four corners are rounded, but the border has clear corner lines, which has the advantage of improving the anti-skid performance.
Turn to the back of Iflytek Video Recorder, and you can see the new 8-megapixel HD camera and supporting flash of Iflytek Video Recorder SR502. The back cover adopts mirror design, which is full of technology, but it is also easy to collect fingerprints. It is suggested that the manufacturer should be equipped with a clean water cover.
Iflytek recording pen SR502 is equipped with 2+6 microphones, and the top two main microphones are directional microphones with a diameter of 10 mm, which can realize the far-field recording function as far as 15 meters. The six openings around the screen are six matrix microphones, which are used to assist the main microphone to achieve 360-degree pickup, improve sound width and reduce environmental noise.
On the left side of the device are the volume+/-and recording keys, and on the right side are the power/screen lock key and SIM card slot.
The bottom design is similar to a mobile phone, with only one Type-C data interface and two symmetrical speaker openings.
Experience in using Iflytek recording pen.
In fact, none of the above matters, but the following test experience is the key. The function of Iflytek recording pen SR502 is very hard-core. It is not only a recording, but also a real-time translation into words, intelligent editing and Chinese-English translation. This generation can be transcribed offline and adapt to more complex environments. And OCR transliteration broadens the usage scene.
Let's talk about the most basic and commonly used voice transcription function of Iflytek recording pen. To be honest, this function will make our meeting records more effective. According to the actual measurement, the real-time transcription speed is very fast, but there are still a few errors, but the accuracy of real-time transcription can reach more than 95%, and the result uploaded to the cloud can finally reach 98%, which is very convenient for conference recording.
In most cases, we use online transcription, which is more accurate. However, in some specific scenes where there is no network or the network needs to be shielded, offline transcription of Iflytek recording pen SR502 is just needed. The off-line transcription accuracy of Iflytek recording pen SR502 also reached 95%, which can be said to be excellent.
Supporting dialects and languages is a highlight of Iflytek recording pen SR502. Although the popularity of Putonghua has been very high, there are still many places where dialects are used. I have been drifting in the north for more than ten years, but I still have a distinct Hunan accent. However, Hunan dialect is not the most difficult dialect to understand, and Cantonese is the most difficult common dialect to understand. The actual measurement shows that in the current firmware version, dialects cannot be automatically identified, which requires manual setting, and offline is not supported. But after setting it up, the effect is still very good. At the same time, Iflytek recording pen SR502 also supports Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean and other 8 languages, 2 small languages, and mixed reading recognition in Chinese and English, which is extremely powerful.
In addition, Iflytek recording pen would like to mention Chinese-English translation. For example, when watching an English conference, the Iflytek recording pen SR502 translates English into Chinese in real time, which is very fast in response and can automatically break sentences through semantic analysis. The effect is very good. Here, I used an English courseware of Beijing Foreign Languages that my daughter-in-law was attending to do the test. The effect is very good and the accuracy is very high.
Iflytek recording pen SR502 has added an 8-megapixel camera, which can directly take photos of manuscripts and convert them into words. This function is very convenient. In the actual measurement, it is found that the effect of Iflytek stylus SR502 is similar to that of mainstream OCR software, and the recognition rate of plain text printed manuscript is very high. But the recognition of mathematical charts is much worse.
Iflytek recorder also has real-time video subtitles, which is also a very interesting function. Iflytek recording pen SR502 can record video and generate subtitles at the same time. This function provides a brand-new video production method for interviews and other scenes.
abstract
Iflytek recording pen can meet the needs of users in extreme network environment, and at the same time, this recording pen can also meet the anti-leakage needs of some users for sensitive and confidential information. In addition, this recorder adds an 8 megapixel camera to realize OCR text extraction, and it can also generate subtitles in real time while recording video, which is a bit cool!
