Note A1 can convert handwritten text to digital text and supports AI features including note summarization, voice transcription and smart search.

Speech-to-text support lets you create transcripts and notes. Synchronization with cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive is also available.
The dimensions of the device are 260.1 × 196.5 × 5.5 mm, weighing — 500 grams.
