After launching a great selection of smartwatches and TWS earbuds this year, wearables manufacturer Mobvoi is now working on a new audio recorder product. The device, called Mobvoi AI Recorder, was recently spotted in an FCC filing, which gives us a good look at its design and dimensions.
The FCC filing in question was submitted by Shenzhen Tinnotech Technology Limited, which is most likely the ODM for the device. As per the filing, the Mobvoi AI Recorder will have a tall rectangular body with rounded edges. The recorder will feature two buttons on the left edge and a belt clip on the back. It will measure just 11mm thick, 60mm tall, and 19mm wide.
While the FCC filing reveals no further information about the device, we managed to unearth some additional details by decoding the latest version of the Mobvoi app on Google Play. The teardown revealed a tutorial page that explains what the various buttons do on the device and how it works. We also managed to extract a few high-quality renders of the device from the APK.

As you can see in the attached images, the Mobvoi AI Recorder will feature two microphones on the front face, with a record button and power switch/WiFi fast transfer key on the left edge. As seen in the FCC filing, the recorder will have a magnetic belt clip on the back, and it will also feature a USB Type-C port on the bottom edge.
The tutorial further reveals that users will be able to pair the Mobvoi AI Recorder with their smartphones by pressing the power button, which will show a green LED when the device is in pairing mode. After the initial pairing process is complete, the device will automatically connect to the smartphone every time it’s turned on.
To record audio, users will have to press the record button, and the Mobvoi AI Recorder will vibrate to indicate that it has started recording. The record button will also show a red LED indicator when the recording is in process. Users will be able to quickly transfer their recording to a connected device by pressing the power/WiFi fast transfer button when it’s connected to a smartphone. The indicator LED will then turn blue to indicate that WiFi fast transfer is enabled.
The Mobvoi app will automatically detect when WiFi fast transfer is turned on, and it will open up the device’s root folder on your smartphone for data synchronization. The tutorial also includes a handy chart highlighting all the LED indicator colors and their meaning. Now that we’ve taken a look at the tutorial, here are a couple of high-resolution renders of the device:
Although Mobvoi hasn’t officially released any information about the Mobvoi AI Recorder so far, the company has set up a new website that talks about an AI transcription service designed to help users manage and transcribe their recordings. As you can see in the attached screenshots, the website highlights the capabilities of the Mobvoi AI for Transcription that will allow users to convert their voice recordings into text files easily.
The AI will also mark key audio to help users jump back to important portions of their recording with the tap of a button. Furthermore, it will provide a smart summary with all important contents displayed in segments. Each segment will have its own corresponding keywords that will allow users to locate and trace the content of previous meetings quickly.
The company’s editing suite will also let users add tags to their recordings for easier access, edit transcriptions on the fly, and view all recordings across various platforms. Finally, to ensure that all user data remains private, Mobvoi will encrypt all data uploaded to its service using multiple encryption algorithms.
As of now, we have no information regarding the launch date and pricing for the Mobvoi AI Recorder. We reached out to Mobvoi to get further details on the upcoming product, but the company refused to comment on our findings.
