The Boya Notra Nano Wearable AI Note Taker is being touted as an easy-to-use, compact, wearable AI voice recorder. It was designed to capture audio and automatically transform conversations into structured digital notes. The launch video is pretty cringeworthy to watch, and it’s hard to tell whether it was AI-generated or not.
You could use it for a variety of applications, and it could be handy for helping to transcribe interviews.
The Notra Nano can be worn using a lanyard, a wristband, or a magnetic attachment. It has physical dimensions of 31 x 34 x 13.7 mm, weighs 24g., The MEMS microphone with AI noise cancellation is claimed to provide a clear 5-meter pickup range.
There are dual recording modes, and by utilizing automatic scene detection, it can switch between Ambient Recording (for in-person meetings or classes) and Bluetooth Recording (when paired with earbuds to record wireless phone calls or online lectures, etc.).
Users also have the ability to drop in images, manual text notes, and timestamped highlights while a recording is in progress.
You can use AI (including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok) to support transcription across 140+ languages along with automated speaker labeling.
Users can choose from 60+ professional templates to structure raw audio data into tailored formats such as executive meeting summaries, action items, and classroom study notes.
An ask AI Integration allows users to query their saved audio files to quickly isolate key takeaways, core quotes, or summary answers.
The companion Boya OS App & Web platform allows for synchronization across devices, and you can export audio (MP3, WAV), text (DOCX, PDF, TXT, Markdown, SRT), and visuals (JPEG mind maps).
Pricing & Availability
The Boya Notra Nano is $104 USD.
Unfortunately, there is always a catch with these devices, and you need to choose from three tiers for transcription. The Pro and Ultimate plans are monthly subscriptions.
