With AI Comes Efficiency: iFLYTEK Launches the New Generation Smart Office Notebook X3
-
On August 9, the "AI New Flagship, Surpassing the Peak" launch event for iFLYTEK's Smart Office Notebook X3 took place. The event invited renowned media personality and humanities and finance observer Qin Shuo to attend and deliver a keynote speech. Zhong Kun, Vice President of iFLYTEK and General Manager of iFLYTEK Reading and Writing Technology, was also present and officially unveiled the new flagship Smart Office Notebook X3.
With AI Comes Efficiency—Artificial Intelligence Drives Personal Office Productivity
As a seasoned media personality and humanities and finance observer, Qin Shuo has long been focused on the latest developments in the field of artificial intelligence. At the event, Qin Shuo delivered an engaging keynote speech titled "The Dividends of Intelligence and the Future of Personal Office Work." He noted that, on a macro level, we are currently at a critical stage of development where efficiency and momentum transformations are needed to drive quality transformation. On an individual level, we must change outdated concepts and methods. Against the backdrop of rapid advancements in generative AI models, the dividends of intelligence are a key factor that everyone must seize.
Qin Shuo also shared some pain points in personal office work based on his own experiences, such as the complexity of information processing and recording, the lack of time management, and low office efficiency. How to make office work "lighter" and improve the personal office experience is an urgent issue for every professional. Qin Shuo believes that with AI comes efficiency—whether on a macro or individual level, artificial intelligence has become a key driver of high-quality development. He expressed hope for a smart office device that could usher in a new era, allowing every professional to work effortlessly and enjoy the benefits of intelligent office technology.
Solving E-Ink Screen Challenges and Integrating the Spark Cognitive Model, X3 Achieves Comprehensive Upgrades
In the latter half of the event, Zhong Kun officially unveiled the new flagship Smart Office Notebook X3. The launch of the X3 directly addressed the issues raised by Qin Shuo earlier—it is a smart office device that significantly enhances efficiency and makes personal office work "lighter."
The Smart Office Notebook X3 features major upgrades in hardware, voice transcription, AI model applications, and personal schedule management. On the hardware front, the X3 adopts a 10.65-inch E Ink flexible display with 300 ppi retina-level clarity and comes with a Wacom custom magnetic stylus for smooth, paper-like writing. The X3 also introduces an innovative "Smart Bar" design, solving the long-standing issue of slow page-turning on E-Ink devices. Additionally, it integrates the Spark cognitive model, allowing users to swipe right to activate the model for open-ended multi-turn conversations.
For real-time voice transcription, the X3 upgrades from the X2's four-microphone array to an eight-microphone array, enabling 360-degree sound capture and source localization for more accurate transcription and speaker identification. The X3 also supports 12 regional dialects, 7 foreign languages for translation, and 16 industry-specific vocabularies, with offline transcription capabilities.
The most significant innovation in the Smart Office Notebook X3 is its full integration with the iFLYTEK Spark cognitive model. With Spark's capabilities, the X3 not only supports text refinement—converting spoken language into written form—but can also generate meeting summaries from transcribed discussions and handwritten notes, allowing users to grasp a two-hour meeting in just five minutes. The Smart Bar's swipe-to-activate feature leverages Spark's open-ended Q&A capabilities, enabling users to interact with the model via handwriting or voice input. Based on user needs, Spark can automatically generate relevant text, helping users efficiently acquire information, knowledge, and inspiration. Additionally, the X3 supports in-text searches using Spark—simply circle handwritten content, and Spark will instantly provide explanations.
For personal schedule management, the X3 not only enhances functionality but also deeply integrates with the Spark model to improve efficiency in time and task management. During meetings, users can draw a star or circle next to important items to create "priority stars" or "to-dos," which are automatically compiled into their schedule for easy follow-up. With Spark's assistance, the X3 can also generate AI-powered weekly work reports based on notes, schedules, to-dos, and priority stars, helping users efficiently summarize their week.
Beyond these core upgrades, the Smart Office Notebook X3 includes a professional document-scanning camera for quickly converting paper files into digital formats, with support for OCR on both printed and handwritten text. Handwriting recognition now includes table detection, allowing hand-drawn tables to be converted into printed tables. The dedicated Read & Write app also introduces a "File Station" feature for seamless cross-device file transfers, and computer-generated text notes can now be edited and annotated on the X3, further enhancing cross-device collaboration. The X3 supports 4G connectivity, multi-email management, and WPS Office document editing. Additionally, it features iFLYTEK's new Voice Synthesis 4.0 technology, offering over 20 narration voices and support for multiple dialects and foreign languages in audiobooks, enriching the reading experience.
From the X1, which solved the three major challenges of incomplete notes, difficulty in retrieval, and loss of records in paper-based work, to the X2, which improved efficiency in design, productivity, security, and lightweight work, and the Air model for portability, the Smart Office Notebook series has focused on office scenarios for four years, deeply understanding user pain points and needs while striving to enhance personal productivity with AI. The X3 represents the culmination of years of iteration and refinement—a flagship device that not only makes office work "lighter" but also empowers users with AI-driven creativity.
The iFLYTEK Smart Office Notebook X3 series starts at ¥4,999 and is available for purchase online and offline starting August 9.
