Interview with Vincent Zhan, the Vice President & Co-founder of iFLYTEK

During GITEX Global 2025, I visited the iFLYTEK stand (Hall 20, Stand A05) and met Mr Vincent Zhan, Vice President and Co-founder of iFLYTEK. The booth reflected the company’s vision of blending innovation, intelligence, and everyday usability through AI-powered business and consumer solutions.

Exploring iFLYTEK’s Smart AI Devices

At the stand, I discovered several next-generation AI devices designed for professionals and consumers. Among them, the iFLYTEK AINOTE Air 2 immediately stood out for its sleek design, sturdy build, and lightweight form factor.

This all-in-one AI device combines productivity, portability, and intelligence in one elegant package. Its advanced AI capabilities make it an ideal choice for business users and digital professionals who value efficiency and clarity.

Another highlight was the iFLYTEK Smart Dictionary Pen, which instantly translates scanned text into multiple languages. It also offers both British and American pronunciations, providing precise learning support for global users.

AI Earbuds and Smart Living Ecosystem

The iFLYTEK AI Earbuds T1 caught attention with their open-type ergonomic design and real-time translation support across many languages. They deliver clear sound quality and long battery life, making them ideal for international business travelers and multilingual professionals.

The booth also featured AI-powered translators, smart recorders, and an impressive Smart Home zone. The Smart Home showcased AI-controlled devices managing lighting, curtains, and televisions through intelligent voice or app-based control. This zone represented iFLYTEK’s seamless integration of technology into everyday living and business spaces.

After exploring the booth, I sat down with Mr. Vincent Zhan to discuss iFLYTEK’s participation in GITEX Global 2025, their product strategy, and future goals.

Mr. Vincent, is this your first time participating in GITEX?

No, this is our second year of participating in GITEX.

What key products are you showcasing this year?

At GITEX, we are showcasing two major product categories — AI Devices and AI Software — which represent our core innovations.

One highlight is the iFLYTEK AINOTE Air 2, an all-in-one AI productivity solution. It’s a lightweight, slim, and well-designed tablet with an 8.2-inch E-Ink HD display, offering a paper-like texture for smooth handwriting and sketching using a passive pen.

It also includes AI-powered features such as voice-to-text, transcription, translation, and handwriting recognition, with note conversion capabilities. The cloud sync and cross-device access make it easy to manage notes across platforms. The E-Ink anti-glare display enhances readability for extended periods of time, making it ideal forlong documents.

With the AINOTE and AI Earbuds, users can easily translate and transcribe conversations during face-to-face interactions or calls.

So, it’s not just one product — it’s a complete ecosystem designed for multiple professional scenarios. For instance, at major conferences like the Beijing Olympic Games or the UN Climate Conference, our smart translators are extremely useful. They also serve various international business, travel, and hospitality applications.

The iFLYTEK AINOTE Air 2 has received a Guinness World Records, right?

Yes, it has been certified by Guinness World Records as the world’s thinnest E-Ink tablet notebook, measuring only 4.2 millimetres in thickness.

Is iFLYTEK present only in the UAE, or are you also in Saudi Arabia?

Our devices and services are designed for the global market. We are currently active in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and across East and Southeast Asia.

Is iFLYTEK mainly focused on business users or also targeting consumers?

We focus on both B2B and B2C markets. Each segment has its own needs. For B2B, we provide integrated AI solutions and enterprise products. For consumers, our main focus includes devices like AINOTE, smart translators, and AI earbuds.

How would you describe iFLYTEK as a company?

iFLYTEK is a leading AI technology company, recognized for its smart and specialized AI solutions that empower industries and individuals through innovation.
