 This is the High Dock H1, it's a chat GPT powered audio dock that has multiple purposes for productivity and AI summary. It's not just a wired speaker phone via USB-C, this is also a Bluetooth speaker phone that you can connect to your phones, it's also an audio recorder and a transcriber, which also includes bi-directional noise cancellation which I'm excited to show you in this video. This is a very nicely designed speaker phone, it actually comes in two colours, I have the one here in slate grey, but you can also get a lighter toned one called platinum grey. Make sure to hit the link for the launch campaign and to check out all the full specifications, features and pricing information of when this goes live. So let's take a look at how this works. So you have all of the common buttons that you would expect from a speaker phone, you have end and answer calls right there, you have the mute button to mute the microphone, you have a volume control wheel, this can actually play and pause as well by pressing down. This wheel actually has an LED ring around it which I will showcase how that works when you do turn it on, and this button here is called the high dot key. So this is going to be key when you're going to record your calls and we're going to explore all of the chat GPT features that are included with this device. As you can see very large speaker and microphone right here which is super clear quality. The red slider here, this is a game changer, this is the world's first bi-directional noise cancellation option in any speaker phone that's on the market. Now you've heard of active noise cancellation whereby it actually drowns out a lot of the background noise on your end, but have you ever wondered if someone else on the other end of the court is in a very noisy environment, whether they're outside and there's a lot of traffic, whether they have a fan on in the background, you can't cancel a lot of their noise to make their vocals a lot clearer up until now. This allows you to cancel the noise in the background of the person on the other end of the call. You slide this up to the top to give you maximum bi-directional noise cancellation so that you can hear them very clearly and I'm very impressed of how this works and that is very cool AI tech that they've developed into this device. Not only as a speaker phone, this is an 11-in-1 docking station so you can actually collect multiple different peripherals using this. So you've got the DC input, you need to connect to a plug and charger that comes in the box with this. This is the USB-C port that you connect to your laptop. You have two HDMI ports which are both 4K 60Hz which you can connect to your monitors and really get your productivity going. You have another USB-C port, two USB-A ports, one 10 gigabits fast transfer, one 5 gigabits per second and then you have a LAN input there. And on the left-hand side you have the Bluetooth pairing button so you can connect this to your phone and take all of your phone calls directly from this without having the need to actually use your phone. You also have another USB-C port here, fast 10 gigabits transfer and you have a micro SD and SD card slot as well. In fact I have been using this quite a lot to transfer all of my content from my SD card slot into here and it's a very quick fast transfer over to my laptop. Okay so now that I have everything connected, you can see I've got one HDMI connected to my monitor, the USB-C cable or any power adapter. So I've got that connected here on my desk, you can see launch campaign. This is actually complemented with an app called Hi-Notes. When you do record a call using the Hi-Doc H1 you can just connect it to your laptop and it will pop up as an external USB drive and it will have an uncompressed WAV file in there. You upload the WAV file into this website, highnotes.hi.com and then it will transcribe and give you all of the summary of everything that was said on the call. But then if you use the summary tab, this will actually use chat GPT and summarize everything in very cleanly written meeting notes. And we'll be testing that out today. You can see all of your previously recorded notes on this dashboard as well once you've logged in. You can see I've created one recently as part of my tests called Tomorrow's Plans and that actually came out very well. So let's go ahead and dive in to all of the capabilities. And first of all we'll start off with the basics just to test out the microphone and speaker quality on this as a speaker phone. So let's go ahead and play a song from Spotify and I'll be using this as the speaker. It is pretty loud. I'll go to the maximum volume for a little bit and come back down. But obviously you guys will hear something slightly different to how I hear it in person but my microphone which is on my shirt here is quite close to it so hopefully you get an idea of how clear and how loud the audio comes directly from this. I'll control the volume with the high dock. I'll go to max volume. Even at max volume that is quite punchy. So I'm quite impressed with this as a speaker so if you just wanted to set this dock up with your laptop and use it as your speaker to play back your content from your laptop it does a pretty decent job and I'm quite impressed with that. Let's go ahead and just play back an example zoom recording from a meeting as well so you guys can hear how clear it would be if you are on a call taking maybe meetings remotely for work. So we'll start with the apologies and I guess we have Hazel, everyone else seems to be here I think so could I have a mover please? Andrew just before you do, I have to leave the meeting at 1.30 to attend a future proof meeting so sorry about that so my apologies from then. Good as gold thanks Jim. So should we include that in the motion as well? You can still hear hopefully that this is quite clear. I've got a full screen zoom recording for a meeting and I don't have any issues obviously hearing anyone because the speaker quality on this is actually very good. Now let's go ahead and test out the microphone quality so how clear my audio is when I record directly from this. So I'll open up my own zoom recording and then I'll play back the audio that comes directly from this on top of the zoom recording because it is already connected to USB C on my laptop in zoom or in teams Google Meet whatever you use you can just change your microphone settings to be the high dock H1 so I'll go ahead and give you a sample now. OK so now I've opened up zoom and I have the recording set with the high dock H1 as the microphone I'm not doing any internal recording to transfer over to high notes at this stage I just wanted to give you an idea of how clear the audio is when I'm just sitting naturally on my chair I don't need to have the speaker very close to my mouth like you do with a headset but this is actually quite a convenient way to take very high quality audio from a microphone so that everyone on the other end of your call will be able to hear you very clearly and I've played back some sample tests that I've created with this high dock H1 and using a zoom recording and actually it's worked pretty well. Hopefully this gives you a little bit of an idea of how clear the audio would be if you do take meeting calls remotely using this product. OK so next let's try out the chat GPT feature which is one of the most exciting features of the high dock H1 it's very simple whenever you're taking a call whether that is through your laptop via zoom or teams or even actually via bluetooth on your phone you can actually start the recording and this will save a way file internally onto the high dock H1 you hold down the high dock key which is the top right one here and then the LED ring will give you like this scion light blue color which indicates that the recording has now started directly onto this and then you can actually create something called voice markers which at certain points during your call if you wanted to put a little red flag or a little marker when it does transcribe and give you the summary in the high notes app that will make it very easily for you to create your own meeting notes document and pick out certain parts in the actual summary that you like to create chapters for as an example so i'm going to just create my own recording directly onto this without opening anything else and hopefully showcase how the high notes app creates via GPT its own little summary so let's start off i will hold down the high dock key so i'm going to give you a schedule for my plans of today and i have three different parts that i want to split my plans with part one i'm actually going to be recording a youtube video for the high dock h1 product it's now launched on kick startup it's going to be a very great campaign this is a great speaker phone that i think everyone should buy you can connect it to your laptop you can connect it to your phone and this is going to be great for recording all of your calls no matter what device you've connected with the high dock h1 this is perfect for people that do remote working and take a lot of calls and if you have multiple monitors multiple peripherals that you like to connect all the time then this is a very great docking station for that part two of my day i'm going to be going to the gym i'm training legs today so hopefully i get a great workout i'm going to be burning a lot of calories and it's going to be really useful for me just to continue my workout routine just so that i don't miss any of my gym days and that hopefully i can fit into my schedule without having to shorten my workout at all part three i'm now going to in the evening go with my friends to a restaurant we're going out for dinner and hopefully we're going to get some nice food after my workout i'm going to be very hungry and it's going to be really awesome to go ahead and just have a nice meal possibly a cheat day but we're going to plan to get a three course meal so we'll get starters mains and desserts and then maybe we'll just have a tea or coffee afterwards at a local cafe and that is everything that's on my schedule for today now that i've stopped the recording the led ring around the control wheel has stopped and you'll notice whether you use mac or windows it should pop up with the finder window with your recording as an external drive that you can now transfer via the wave file right so you can see in my finder window i have the wave file here of everything i've just recorded now i can go into high notes i can either drag or drop or upload directly so i've dragged it into there it's uploading and is going to transcribe and summarize everything that i've recorded and that's where the chat gbt really comes in useful now you can see there's two tabs here if you go to transcript this is everything that i've spoken of course you can copy this to your own document and edit any mistakes that it may have but it's actually very accurate you can see where it's highlighted in blue it's got the little voice marker which tells me that's when i press the button and that's where i will split my document into chapters so you can see the voice marker was right there before i started talking about part one then i can see this is kind of giving me headers so part two and then part three is where i've created those three voice markers and that is a very convenient way to actually utilize the transcription and to create your own document very quickly when you go to summary this actually does a very good job it's told me that this is based on the schedule for the day so it's picked up everything that i've recorded and actually look if you look at the to-do list it's split that into the three parts that i was talking about and given a very good summary of it so if i wanted to use this for meeting calls it will give a very nice summary kind of like a table of contents of everything that you discussed on that call that's been recorded and of course any other spelling mistakes or anything you can go ahead and make yourself but in here it's also given a brief summary of the parts you've mentioned with the voice marks so of course this slightly needs a little bit of updating from my side but as a whole i can just go ahead and copy this and then use this as kind of my own personal memo document or notes or reference that i can go back to at any time to remember what happened during that call this is actually very great so if you're on a one-hour call for example for work you might not concentrate on all of the parts maybe there's some segments of the call that are not relevant to you if you have it recorded and then have it summarized via high notes it will basically allow you to go back and reference any important information at a later stage that you needed to in case you missed it or maybe you just wasn't concentrating at that moment so this is a very great big highlight of this speakerphone that no other speakerphone and on the market that i know of currently will do this type of thing next let's try out another game changer feature which is the BNC the bi-directional noise cancellation using that red slider now there's a demo audio that they've inbuilt into this unit that i received that is going to play back some sounds of someone speaking with a lot of background noise and i can test out the bi-directional by myself by just using the slider to give you an idea but i will test this in real life practice by going to another room jumping onto a zoom call and having a fan next to me with a lot of background noise and then getting a family member here to drown out a lot of my background noise where i will be and to see how good that works so let's go ahead and just give you an example welcome to high dog bi-directional noise cancellation demo in this demo we will play audio with various background noises so there's a lot of noise coming from this person's background with keyboard typing and construction noise we believe that communication can solve 90 percent of all communication devices of the future should look at the difference capture voice and take notes make conversations feel as natural as in-person interactions have a sleep that is a very big difference at high dog we are dedicated to innovating for communication here even if you go halfway it's still pretty good AI technology with comfortable design the difference between it being off and all the way on bi-directional noise cancellation it's actually quite large and with car and street noise it's amazing how they've made this work we have developed deep learning algorithms to separate if you're outside with a lot of traffic it really focuses on the person's vocals for more information please visit our website www.highdog.com thank you now that was a great demo and of course i'm going to now go ahead and give a live practice and see how this works in real life situations now the high dog also has bluetooth 5.2 so i'm going to pair it by just holding down the bluetooth button on the side there to my phone and then i'm going to make a phone call and at the same time going to be testing that bnc slider because i think if you are going to take phone calls using this then people are going to be in all different types of environments in different situations whether they're out on the street walking on a busy road whether they have a lot of family in the background speaking whatever it may be it's going to be a really good test to test the bnc but also test the bluetooth connection with phone call recording so now i'm going to set up my microphone a little bit closer to the high dog h1 as well i'm going to make a phone call pair it to my phone via bluetooth and then i'm going to be typing on a keyboard very loudly i'm going to have a fan on just on the side as well as kind of like natural noises that you would do when you are maybe working from home remotely and then i'll get a family member to come over here in this room i'll step over into the other room on the other end of the call whilst i'm testing out the audio quality with the bnc slider and then we'll test it by moving the slider up and also back down so hopefully you guys can hear how much of a difference this slider can make so let's look at it test okay so now i've actually connected the high dog h1 via bluetooth to my phone and i'm having a direct phone call which you can actually use to record directly onto the high dog and transcribe and get a ai summary for as well so i'm going to now turn on the fan it's quite noisy next to me and i'm going to start typing on the keyboard which is also next to my phone and you should be able to hear with the microphone picking this up so the fan is on now i'm typing away and you can probably hear as i'm speaking there's a lot of noise coming from me typing on the keyboard and we are going to test out the bnc slider now to see if you can continue hearing me so i've asked one of my family members to help out and in my room is next to the high dog i've gone over to another room and i'm just typing away on a keyboard here and you can probably hear from the microphone the keyboard noises are quite prominent so now if we go ahead and slowly move the slider halfway up you can probably hear a slight reduction in my background noise coming from a different location remotely and now if we slide it up all the way to the top so you'll be able to hear this is the full bnc mode and my vocals are still being picked up more clearly whilst i'm still typing at the same speed and you won't be able to hear much of that anymore so that is a really really great feature so just as an example let's put the bnc all the way back down to turn it off the red slider and i haven't stopped typing the same way i have from the beginning of this phone call and you can hear the typing has come back to its original noise levels and it just has one more final test if you slide it all the way to the top the fan noise the keyboard noises i would say it eliminates the 90 percent of this background noise but having the ability of eliminating that from the person on the remote end of the call i think that's just brilliant so now if we just bring the slider once more back down and turn it off and you can hear the differences in the audio quality from having that on and off and this is going to be a real big game changer so there you have it hopefully that gave you a very good indication of the different capabilities of the hydroch H1 this is packed with a lot of features make sure to check out the link in the description to find out all of the latest specifications pricing informations and you could also purchase an additional accessory called the earphone it's actually an optional add-on that you can get it enables private conversations through its exclusive protocol connection but it also lets people take short breaks during lengthy meetings while remaining connected at all times so there's going to be a lot of options and capabilities of this when this does go live and i do recommend if you do check this out you will not be disappointed because i think this is very good value for money as always if you have any
