The business world has jumped at the chance to integrate AI into its daily workflow. AI software has enabled instant translation, summarization of complex and long-winded subjects, and the generation of new ideas. Viaim is a company building a suite of AI tech for the workplace.
In June 2025 viaim introduced the RecDot, OpenNote, and NoteKit. These are a suite of products with AI capabilities for translating, recording, and transcribing meetings. Let’s take a look at each one.
What is RecDot?
RecDot earbuds are specifically designed for transcription and translation. They have tons of AI features that working professionals will love.
It all starts with the transcription technology, which instantly writes down everything happening in your meeting or call, with 16 languages available. You can also record live audio and videos with the FlashRecord feature.
Once your meeting is transcribed, it can be translated into 15 different languages instantly. This is a great feature for people who often collaborate with teams in different countries. Transcribed and translated meetings can then be summarized or turned into to-do lists with the AI Note Taker feature. Pull the most important parts of your meeting out so everyone knows what the action items are.
The RecDot earbuds have a substantial 36-hour battery life and use Bluetooth, with the option for pairing with multiple devices. The RecDot earbuds are currently $35 off, making them $214.
What is OpenNote?
The OpenNote earbuds are similar in function to the RecDot earbuds, but they are designed with a more comfortable design. They wrap around the back of the ears and have a sleeker appearance, more like buds designed for wearing on the move.
The OpenNote earbuds have the same AI features as the RecDot, including transcription, recording, and translation. It’s going to come down to personal preference if you’re considering the OpenNote vs. the RecDot.
What is NoteKit?
NoteKit is a USB-dongle version of the RecDot and OpenNote headphones. It plugs directly into your computer and has a built-in microphone for recording high quality audio or transcribing directly into the viaim app.
The NoteKit has many of the same features as the RecDot, such as meeting transcription, translation, recording, and AI summarizing. All it takes is a single press of the button on the USB stick. This is a good option for people who never go without their laptop and would rather not wear headphones during in-person meetings.
