Transcription has always been a useful thing to have for work and creative purposes, and that’s only increased with greater access to AI models. There are already a handful of purpose-built devices you can buy for this, but the Soundcore Work is a new AI voice recorder that looks to have nailed all the practicalities beyond just recording audio and turning it into text.
The Work debuted at IFA 2025 in Berlin, and will be rolling out to Soundcore's various international markets between September and November. You'll pay $99/£99 for the hardware, with the option of a $15.99/£15.99 monthly subscription for additional functionality, such as collecting transcripts on the same subject together with suggested to-dos and more.
