Tablets have evolved significantly, but few truly feel personal or purpose-built. The iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 takes a different path — one that centers on the act of writing and the intelligence that follows it. Officially recognized by Guinness World Records as the thinnest E-Ink tablet in the world, with an average thickness of just 4.2 mm (0.165 in), it merges minimalist hardware with powerful AI capabilities.
Rather than focusing on media or general-purpose tasks, AINOTE 2 is designed to feel like paper in your hand while thinking like a smart assistant — reshaping how professionals capture, process and act on information. This article explores how its tactile design and intelligent features work in harmony to deliver a truly seamless productivity experience.
First impressions: lightweight form, long-haul comfort
At just a few millimeters thick and weighing close to nothing, the AINOTE 2 feels like holding a premium notepad. That E-Ink screen, typically reserved for e-readers, gets a serious refresh here — both literally and metaphorically. The AINOTE 2 supports video playback to demonstrate its fast refresh rate. For professionals spending hours in meetings or reviewing documents, this lightweight design isn't just a plus — it's essential.

Smart meets practical: AI that closes the loop
The AINOTE 2 isn’t just a tool for capturing information — it’s built to help users process and act on that information with minimal friction. Its suite of AI-powered features turns handwritten notes into actionable, searchable, and shareable content within seconds, creating a closed-loop workflow that goes far beyond traditional note-taking.
With just a tap, handwritten content can be transcribed into editable text. Professionals in fast-paced environments — such as journalists covering interviews or doctors recording case summaries — can rely on the real-time transcription feature to streamline documentation, without losing the nuance of handwritten input.
The device supports real-time transcription in 15 languages, translation across 10 languages, and handwriting-to-text recognition in 133 languages — making it a powerful tool for international teams and cross-border collaboration.
Key information can be highlighted or circled directly on the page to trigger instant summarization. In a meeting scenario, this means action items and key points are automatically extracted and made ready for follow-up, eliminating the need to sift through lengthy notes later. The system even links tasks to calendar views, allowing executives and project managers to move from insight to planning within the same interface.
Natural language search is another standout. Through the Smart Bar or dedicated AI button, users can ask questions or look up past notes in conversational language — no need to remember file names or folders. Searching "meeting with client on budget" instantly surfaces relevant content, no tagging required.
The writing experience: precision writing that keeps pace with thought
For professionals who think through writing, the iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 delivers a truly refined experience. The EMR pen has been engineered for extended use, with a carefully balanced length and grip that mimics the feel of a high-end fountain pen. It’s not just comfortable — it’s precise. With latency kept under 20 milliseconds, the pen responds nearly instantaneously to every movement. Whether capturing fast meeting notes or sketching detailed flowcharts, the ink appears as quickly as ideas form.
The writing surface recognizes varying degrees of pressure, allowing for subtle shifts in stroke weight and intensity. This is especially valuable for those who diagram or annotate regularly, such as lawyers adding emphasis to legal clauses or educators outlining key concepts. The pen’s side button is thoughtfully positioned to reduce misoperation, while palm rejection allows for a natural hand position without accidental input — just like writing on real paper.
This tactile precision is not just about comfort; it enables professionals to maintain cognitive flow. Doctors can jot notes during rounds without digital friction. Journalists can scribble observations in real time. And creative professionals can move from brainstorm to storyboard without switching tools. The result is a writing experience that adapts to the user, not the other way around.
Ecosystem & OS: note-taking that talks to everything else
Running on an open Android system, the AINOTE 2 allows users to install familiar third-party applications through Google Play or local APKs. This means professionals aren’t limited to a proprietary environment — they can use tools like WPS Office, Evernote, or even email clients directly on the device. For lawyers, that could mean reviewing PDF case files and annotating them on the same screen; for content creators, it enables switching between research, scripts, and scheduling apps, without leaving the tablet.
The customized NOTE OS enhances this flexibility with over 80 built-in templates for journaling, meeting notes, to-do lists and mind-mapping. Visual thinkers can sketch out strategies or project flows, while task-oriented users can structure their days using calendar-integrated note pages. The OS also supports hand-drawn mind maps, which is a major plus for educators or consultants who use visual frameworks in presentations.
File organization is equally robust. With multi-layered note management, documents can be categorized by project, client, or theme. Integration with cloud storage platforms like OneDrive ensures all files remain accessible and backed up across devices. Syncing between AINOTE mobile and PC clients ensures notes written in a meeting room are instantly available at your desk or on your phone.
And when it comes to document handling, the AINOTE 2 doesn’t cut corners. The E-Ink-optimized WPS suite enables viewing, annotating and editing of Word, Excel and PDF files, directly on the device. Professionals can draft contracts, revise marketing plans, or finalize reports — all in an eye-friendly, distraction-free environment.
