BOYA has introduced the Notra Neo, a compact AI-powered recording and note-taking device designed to capture, transcribe, organize and summarize conversations. The device is positioned as a more affordable alternative to the company’s flagship BOYA Notra AI note-taker while retaining many of its key AI-powered features.
A More Affordable AI Recording Device
The Notra Neo is making its debut at IFA 2026 in Berlin, Germany, which runs from September 4 to September 8. Visitors can experience the device in person at BOYA’s booth in Hall H20, Stand 132.
Pricing and Availability
The BOYA Notra Neo is currently available for pre-order at a special price of $69.99, while its regular MSRP is $79.99. BOYA is accepting pre-orders through its official channels, with general sales expected to follow the device’s IFA 2026 debut.
AI-Powered Transcription and Summaries
One of the main features of the Notra Neo is its AI-powered transcription system, which supports more than 140 languages and dialects. The device can also identify and separate different speakers during a conversation.
Beyond transcription, the AI can automatically generate conversation summaries, key points, to-do lists and mind maps. Users can also search through their entire recording history to quickly find specific information.
Three Recording Modes
The Notra Neo automatically adapts to different recording situations and offers three main recording modes. Its Ambient Recording mode provides 360-degree audio pickup with a recording range of up to 5 meters.
For phone calls, the device can use a magnetic attachment to connect with a smartphone. It also supports Bluetooth Call Recording, which is designed for online meetings and Bluetooth-based calls.
Compact Design and Long Battery Life
BOYA has designed the Notra Neo for everyday portability. The device weighs just 34.5g and measures 63 × 63mm, making it compact enough to carry easily.
It features a 610mAh battery that provides up to 20 hours of recording time and up to 365 days of standby time. The device charges through a USB-C port and takes approximately 1.5 hours to fully charge.
Storage, Connectivity and Audio Features
The Notra Neo comes with 8GB of local storage and unlimited cloud storage. It supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, which can also be used for wireless file transfers.
The device also includes AI noise cancellation of up to -30dB, helping improve audio clarity in different recording environments.
BOYA will offer the Notra Neo in four colour options: Black, White, Pink and Yellow.
How It Compares With the Flagship Notra
The Notra Neo keeps many of the core AI features found in BOYA’s flagship Notra but makes some compromises to achieve a lower price. The Neo offers 8GB of local storage, compared with 64GB on the flagship model, while its audio pickup range is 5 meters instead of 10 meters.
However, its lower $69.99 pre-order price could make AI-powered recording and note-taking more accessible to a wider audience.
Who Is It For?
BOYA is made for students, young professionals, first-time AI note-taker users, and anyone looking for an affordable and portable recording device. With support for 140+ languages, speaker identification, AI-generated summaries, three recording modes, long battery life, and unlimited cloud storage, the Notra Neo aims to offer a feature-rich AI note-taking experience at an entry-level price.
