Earlier this summer, I checked out the iFLYTEK AINOTE Air 2, and it turned out to be one of the best e-ink tablets available in the market. So when I learned of the opportunity to talk to you about the new AINOTE 2 (which is not the same as the Air 2), I couldn’t say no. It’s a refined take on the already well-tuned recipe, featuring even better AI integration, smoother stylus, sharper display, and many interesting features that I’ve discussed below.
What Does iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 Offer?
iFLYTEK is a company that was founded back in 1999 and has been making value-for-money AI-powered products. I liked the AINOTE Air 2, and now, they are launching AINOTE 2, which is the thinnest paper tablet, measuring only 4.2mm in thickness.
This ultra-thin profile has earned iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 the World Record title for the “thinnest e-ink tablet”. Despite the thinness, it has a 10.65-inch display and a 4,000 mAh battery that can easily last for days. This makes it perfect to carry around in office meetings, college lectures, or anywhere outside. It barely adds any bulk to your everyday carry.
Key Highlights of iFLYTEK AINOTE 2
Unlike conventional e-reader tablets, iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 has a lot of charm to it and packs many interesting features. There’s a lot to go over, but till then, here’s a rundown of its key highlights.
- Large display that feels like paper when you read or write on it
- Responsive screen that goes up to 22 FPS in the Best Speed mode
- Comes with 4 microphones to pick up every word you say, even in noisy environments
- A fingerprint reader built into the power button to quickly unlock the tablet
- Includes 4GB RAM and 64 GB of storage to store all the books you want to read
- Access to the latest ChatGPT 5 without any subscription
- Can transcribe audio recordings into 14 different languages
- Use AI to turn your writing into written text and translate or summarise it
- Sync your notes or annotations across devices with the iFLYTEK app
My Favorite Features of the iFLYTEK AINOTE 2
I am not an avid book reader, but I still need to jot down notes while researching for my articles, or record a meeting to go through it later at my own pace. For those purposes, the iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 is a lifesaver, thanks to its amazing suite of AI features that I can’t wait to tell you all about in detail.
1. Free Access to ChatGPT 5 for Work & Study
Compared to existing e-ink devices I have tested before, the iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 offers the best AI integration of all. I could quickly pull up ChatAI from the quick bar at the bottom to ask about a paragraph or summarize something I need help with.
This is powered by the latest ChatGPT 5 model, which is available to use here for completely free, no subscription required.
This quick chat window shows on top of whatever page I am on. So I can quickly get the answer I want, close the window, and get back to what I was doing before. It is quick and seamless. It can also help brush up my messy handwriting, recognize the words, and rewrite in a clean text format.
2. Create and Summarize Transcriptions
The iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 comes with 4 microphones, which allows it to capture clear audio, even if you are in a crowded room or when multiple speakers are talking. This is why it can easily become an ideal companion for meetings, where it can record, transcribe, and summarize the minutes of the meeting all in a single tap. It creates transcriptions with excellent accuracy, and I can see it coming in clutch for students, teachers, and researchers too.
3. Excellent Writing Experience with EMR Pen
The point of an e-ink reader is to feel like paper, especially when you are writing on it. And I must say that the AINOTE 2 nails that experience for me. The latency is so low that strokes appear almost instantly, and it even manages to capture the rough sound, as if you are writing with a real pen and paper.
The included EMR pen is also well-balanced and offers a nice grip while writing, which is exactly the kind of feeling you want. It also doubles as an eraser when you press and hold the button and hover it above what you have written. It’s an ingenious implementation that I liked a lot.
4. Versatile Note Taking Solution
What stood out to me was the versatile experience of the iFLYTEK AINOTE 2. It allows me to do recording, transcription, handwriting, and typed notes, all in one place. More involved users can also draw mind maps, use templates for drafting notes, extract items, and add them as priority or to your to-do list, and sync every change across your mobile or PC with the iFLYTEK app.
I can edit, annotate, or select texts on documents and PDFs and upload them quickly to OneDrive, with support for Google Drive coming soon.
iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 is the Only Paper Tablet You Need
Given what we have discussed, you might have come to understand how much I am impressed with this E-reader. It offers everything for people from all walks of life, and that’s where it shines. It also does not restrict you in its ecosystem, as it comes with Android, and you are free to sideload any app you want. It’s the kind of benefits that are difficult to find among other products in the market, and that is why the iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 is completely worth its price.
