H1 11-in-1 USB C Docking Station with AI Voice Recorder, Free Transcription & Summarization, Dual HDMI 4K@60Hz, 118W PD, 2.5Gbps Ethernet, 10Gbps Fast Data Transfer, SD/Micro SD 4.0 Card Reader (H1)

I cannot sing the praises of this device and service it provides. It is so easy to use, turn it on to record the meeting, once done, turn it off. Go to the notes website, click a button then it uses your selected AI tool to summarize the meeting, including weeding out and documenting the action items from the meeting.For me, I am horrible of being attentive in the meeting and taking notes. I am NOT a multitasker. This device takes away the need. It takes the notes for me, then summarizes them.It is simple to connect, plug into your computer with a USB-C cord. Have your computer sound and mic run through the device. You now have a speakerphone and note taker in one.The device comes with a bluetooth ear piece with mic for mobility for those that like to move around and talk as well.As I am alluding to, the device is cool, but the integrated Hi-Notes capability is the life-saver. With this hardware, simply connect to the Hi-Notes website, register the device, it reads from the device and provides both a transcript and summary. Depending on the subscription you get (free or paid for) you can provide minutes with speaker names.Also, as pointed out in other reviews (here and on-line) the noise cancellation/reduction is bi-directional , you can filter out non-voice sound from incoming sound as well as your outbound sound. This makes the notes have more clarity and less cluttered with ambient thoughts that might come from other conversations not directly in the meeting.If you are not a multitasker like me and you have to run virtual meetings, this is a godsend. I do not know if I am brave enough to break it out in a F2F meeting and have it record, but seems quite possible to do that as well.

I’ve used the HiDock for almost six months and surprised to see so many negative reviews when coming back to plug it. I switched from 20 years in automotive to a remote software sales role, and this little box made the jump sooo much easier. All my meetings are on Teams, and recording has been essential. HiNotes gives decent summaries and action items, but I usually export the full transcript and paste it into ChatGPT for specific prompts. As a dock it has been rock solid, one USB-C cable to my laptop, a cleaner desk, and reliable ports. Bluetooth with my work phone works fine too, and the speaker and mic both sound good. I started on the basic HiNotes and got by, then upgraded to Pro for speaker labels, which helps when I need more precise prompts.There are quirks, nothing show-stopping, and you should set your expectations (AI notes are a starting point, not a replacement for your brain). For the price, it has been worth it simply for helping me tremendously in my role and because it replaced a docking station/speakerphone/meeting recorder all in one. If you want tidy hardware that records reliably and transcripts you can build on, the HiDock is a strong everyday tool that helped me get through a big career transition.

Holy moly the H1E has changed my life. People now beg me for my meeting notes. Senior execs in my firm reach out asking me about it. I just completed a series of client interviews on a different video conference system and was instantly able to get transcripts (without having to beg the client to send them). This thing is truly amazing. So good that I also bought the portable P1 for recording on the go.I would give it five stars, but there are a couple of tweaks that would make it perfect. 1) the Bluetooth earpiece can get choppy2) sometimes the speaker quality is off and people hear an echo (even when I adjust the delay control)3) The subscription is expensive. It runs $199 per year.4) The software is also limited. It does not allow searching or queries like Copilot in Teams. Instead I have to upload transcripts to Gemini. It does not offer not real-time transcription. The filing of transcripts by folder is rudimentary at best. I can’t search all transcripts by a client. I can’t list unfiled meetings. Transcription can be slow.5) it does not learn my voice, so I have to manually enter speakers every single time. (May be a limitation of my corporate calendar being blocked from syncing with HiNotes app)But these are minor annoyances compared to the meeting recap. Love this and recommend it, but there are still possibilities for a better product experience.
