Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I buy a dedicated AI recorder instead of just using a free app on my phone?
A: While phone apps are fine for basic voice memos, hardware like the Plaud Note Pro and HiDock P1 handles things smartphones simply can’t. They feature hardware-level call recording (via MagSafe or Bluetooth) and advanced microphone arrays built to block out background noise. Plus, they come with built-in AI tools that automatically handle speaker separation, instant translations, and action-item summaries—saving you the hassle of exporting files to a third-party app.

Q: Do companion robots like the AIPI-Lite or AIBI need a constant internet connection?
A: For their best features, yes. Processing complex conversations requires massive computing power, so these compact desktop bots use Wi-Fi to send your voice queries to cloud-based AI servers. While a device like the AIBI Pocket Pet can handle basic offline tasks—like setting a timer or checking its system stats—you’ll need a stable internet connection to unlock full conversations and dynamic responses.

Q: What is “Bone Conduction” voice pickup, and how does it help the Timekettle W4?
A: Standard earbuds use traditional microphones that pick up everything around you, including wind and traffic. Bone conduction tech uses a specialized sensor that rests against your jaw to capture the actual vibrations of your vocal cords. By combining these internal vibrations with standard audio, the AI can flawlessly isolate your voice, giving you crystal-clear, real-time translations even in noisy places like crowded airports.
