How can you have meetings in a café, at the airport, or in an open space—while still capturing every detail without disturbing anyone else?

With AI, a personal voice recorder helps us focus in meetings without worrying about taking notes. However, most recorders are not compatible with Bluetooth earphoneslack decent audio quality, and are poor at transferring data to apps.

Recording private calls in noisy spaces is a hassle without Bluetooth earphone support. Background noise, privacy concerns, and clunky setups get in the way. HiDock P1 and P1 mini are the first AI Voice Recorders to let you record effortlessly with your trusted earphones, no matter on a desktop, laptop or smartphone.

With P1’s BlueCatch™️ technology, you can connect your Bluetooth earphones with just one press, and P1 seamlessly records two-way audio during meetings. Need to switch back? Another press to release your earphones.

For AI voice recorders, audio quality is just as important as the transcript—if not more. A poor recording can lack essential details, such as rising excitement, thoughtful pauses, or warm reassurance, which are crucial for making transcripts truly useful.

*P1 has dual Ø6 analog ECM microphones, P1 mini has one Ø4 analog ECM microphone.

For P1, It connects to the computer (desktop or laptop) with a USB-C cable, it connects to the earphone with Bluetooth.

For P1 mini, it directly plugs into the smartphone USB-C port and connects to the earphone with Bluetooth.

*P1 can work with smartphones; P1 mini cannot work with computers, because its size limitation and communication protocol difference.

Virtual conference calls, face-to-face meetings, and personal inspiration ideas—all can be recorded by P1 with its purposely designed 3 modes.

HiDock P1 makes productivity effortless with its 3-step process: Record meetings and calls, transcribe them automatically, and get summarized notes for quick review. Stay organized and efficient, all in the lightest, most portable design.

HiDock’s Bi-directional Noise Cancellation (BNC) enhances your recordings by actively filtering out background noise from both ends of your call. In Call Mode, even with participants in noisy environments like streets, cars, or cafés, your recordings remain clear, ensuring high transcription accuracy.

*BNC is only available in P1, P1 mini doesn’t support it.

With its magnetic design and touch control cable, HiDock P1 seamlessly travels with you. Whether you’re commuting, rushing for back-to-back meetings, or moving between workspaces, simply attach to your laptop or any metal surface, one touch to record or mute. It ensures that P1 is always within reach while keeping your workspace tidy and organized.

With the USB-C plug design, P1 mini can be directly plugged into iPhone 15/16 and most Android phones. Once BlueCatch™️ connects with an earphone, you can use P1 mini as a headphone to answer calls, have Zoom/Teams/Google Meet meetings and talk with any apps (FaceTime, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, etc.). And all can be recorded on P1 mini.

We launched the HiDock brand on Kickstarter on December 6th, 2022. In 28 months, we’ve reached 115 countries and regions and handled 12,741 customer support tickets. It’s been a long yet short journey for the brand.

When we launched HiDock H1, we designed it with desktop productivity in mind—something you could rely on for seamless meetings and effortless transcription. But as we started hearing from you, a pattern emerged:

These requests resonated with us. While HiDock H1 was built for stationary use, we realized that many of you wanted a compact, flexible, and mobile solution—something you could use anywhere, with your own trusted earphones.

That’s where HiDock P1 started.

Since the day we launched P1, we got many backers’ inquiry about smartphone support. P1 supports smartphones, you can see the demo below. But we are not satisfied with this form factor. So we challenge ourselves to build a better solution for smartphones: P1 mini.

Design wise, we follow “form follows function”, as always. Technically, we leverage the P1 core electronics and re-design it into the mini form factor. So the engineering risk is low and delivery can be guaranteed. Please expect mass production and shipping in August.
