Recolx Tap is a card-sized AI voice recorder with smart features

The Recolx Tap is a small card-sized recorder that you can use to transcribe meetings, conversations, or even just general thoughts out loud — they’re turned into mind maps, summaries, and usable insights.

If you’ve seen my previous coverage of AI transcription and voice recorder devices, like the Viaim RecDot earbuds or the Viaim OpenNote, you can tell I’m fond of these technologies. As a writer, they help me dictate and ideate out loud, similar to taking notes with a voice recorder. But the devices also transcribe what you’re saying, which makes them great for business meetings, conversations you want to remember, and much more. Students could even use them in class to gather or take notes. Well, the Recolx Tap is an AI-powered voice recorder in the same vein, designed to be distraction-free. It’s credit-card-sized and perfect for resting on a table nearby while you work or chat.

The premise is the same as the other devices. It records your conversations, offers hands-free transcriptions and multi-lingual translations across over 112 languages. But it’s also designed to take that data and do something useful with it. For example, compiling mind maps on the fly to help you make sense of conversational data. Or, delivering professional AI-driven insights, like pulling out the most important highlights out of a meeting or conversation to save you time.

What are the tech specs of the Recolx Tap?

The battery offers up to 30 hours of continuous recording on a single charge, and it has 64GB of built-in storage to house up to 480 hours of clean audio. Local encryption keeps the data housed on the device secure, with cloud storage optionally available as well. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy to sync data with mobile, via a smartphone app. Recolx also incorporates 360-degree AI noise reduction, so it picks up voices in a room better than ambient sound. It even comes bundled with a MagSafe case, which you can use to attach to compatible phones.

With the device, you get up to three months free of the PRO subscription, with 1,500 minutes of transcription per month, access to content templates and additional AI tools through the Recolx service. After the included minutes, it’s $20 per month or $100 annually.
