Mobvoi’s new TicNote Watch starts recording when you hold its dedicated button for two seconds, and the recording works offline, in person or on a two-way phone call. A double press starts a note of up to 60 seconds. Two omnidirectional microphones can pick up voices from 3 to 5 meters away, the watch holds up to 200 hours of audio on its own, and Mobvoi says it will keep recording for around 24 hours on a single charge. Live text appears on the watch in 17 languages, and when a conversation ends you get a summary and a mind map you can search or share. Mobvoi, the maker of the TicWatch, built it for people who spend their days in meetings, such as journalists, healthcare providers and consultants.
Mobvoi claims at least 98% accuracy and a delay under 1.5 seconds, and those figures have yet to be independently verified. The watch also pulls in health data. An AI Journal puts conversations on a searchable timeline beside workouts, sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen, stress and readiness, and an AI Recap generates an evening summary of the notable moments and action items. Recordings sync across the watch, a phone and a PC through TicNote Cloud, transcripts export to Notion and Obsidian, and the TicNote API supports access from ChatGPT, Codex and Claude. People standing nearby may not realize a conversation is being captured. The TicNote Watch costs $249, or $199 for a limited introductory period, and it’s sold at TicNote.ai and on Amazon. The included Plus plan covers 600 transcription minutes a month, and Mobvoi also offers Pro and Business plans.
