Watch the full review
A tablet you can write on all day without your eyes hurting, that transcribes the meeting while you write, and that cannot show you a notification. The iFLYTEK AINOTE Air 2 is an 8.2-inch E Ink notebook with the AI parts built in — made for people who take notes for a living and have given up on doing it on a phone.
Writing that feels like paper
The E Ink display has no backlight glare and no refresh shimmer, so an hour of writing feels like an hour with a notebook rather than an hour with a screen. The included stylus reads 4,096 levels of pressure, so a quick annotation and a deliberate stroke look different on the page — which is the difference between a digital notebook you keep using and one you abandon.
It writes down the meeting for you
Real-time AI voice transcription turns what was said into editable text while it is being said. In a client meeting, a lecture or an interview that means you can listen properly instead of racing the speaker, and still have the full record afterwards.
Summaries instead of transcripts
A raw transcript is rarely what you need an hour later. Built-in AI condenses the session into key discussion points, and smart symbols turn anything you marked while writing into tasks, reminders and priorities on your schedule.
17 languages spoken, 83 written
Voice transcription covers 17 languages and handwriting-to-text conversion covers 83 — enough that mixed-language notes, international calls and study material in a second language all come out searchable.
A reader as well as a notebook
PDFs, research papers and eBooks are comfortable to read on a glare-free panel, and you can annotate straight onto the file. The adjustable dual-colour front light keeps it readable in a dark room without the blue-white glow of an LCD.
Nothing else competing for your attention
There is no feed and no app store pulling at you. That constraint is the point: it is why people who own both a tablet and one of these end up reaching for this one when they actually need to think.
