viaim's NoteKit AI Voice Recorder Poised to Transform North American Classrooms, Boosting Educator Efficiency

NEW YORK, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- viaim, an AI hardware company specializing in smart office solutions, is preparing for the official North American launch of its NoteKit AI voice recorder, which impressed visitors at CES 2025 in January. The device features AI-powered real-time transcription and task management technology designed to improve workplace efficiency. More than just a recording tool, NoteKit serves as a "second brain" for educators, enhancing knowledge transfer and clarifying learning objectives. Colleges and universities already using NoteKit to support paperless teaching are also contributing to energy conservation and emissions reduction.

Modern North American university teachers and students juggle multiple responsibilities daily, with classes occupying most of their time. Without efficient sorting and summarizing tools, after-class productivity and efficiency decline. Essentially an AI Office Assistant for desktop computers, NoteKit helps streamline coursework, significantly improving teaching and learning outcomes. It has 15-language transcription and translation capabilities and supports mainstream online meeting applications such as Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet. On-site recordings are a breeze with an impressive audio pickup range of five meters. NoteKit feels equally at home on Windows and MacOS machines, and can plug-and-play with just one simple click.

Dr. Emily, a chemistry professor at the University of California, Berkeley, was an early test user of NoteKit. In a class on "Application of Molecular Dynamics in New Energy Materials," she used NoteKit for classroom recording and real-time transcription. She plugged the device into the classroom computer and switched on "classroom mode." The lecture was recorded in real time, and the text was transcribed. Viaim's AI then highlighted key sections, automatically identifying "formula derivation," "case discussion" and "after-class tasks," marking them in different colors. NoteKit broke down each concept and generated a to-do list, helping students efficiently complete assignments and research discussions after class.

Dr. Emily commented: "NoteKit has completely changed the way I manage my classroom. It used to take two hours to organize the key points of the course, but now it only takes five minutes to generate a to-do list. Students have told me that the tasks have never been so clear," adding, "NoteKit is not only a tool, but also a promoter of educational equity."

Five minutes after Dr. Emily's class, NoteKit generated the following:

Summary: (core theory) A comparison of applicable scenarios of the three major molecular dynamics simulation methods (DFT, MD, MC). (Application case) Simulation optimization path of lithium-ion battery electrode materials.

Student to-do list: 1. Read Journal of Materials Science Article X (focus: DFT calculation steps) 2. Group task: Use open source software to reproduce the simulation process of Case 1 (3-person group, submission before Friday). 3. Preview the next class: Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics (Chapter 5 of the textbook).

Progress tracking: Students need to check the completed items in the NoteKit App. This allowed Dr. Emily to view overall progress of the class in real time.

viaim's NoteKit AI Voice Recorder Poised to Transform North American Classrooms, Boosting Educator Efficiency

SYDNEY, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SDS Australia has confirmed it will release its new Canadian Cedar Ice Baths in January 2026, following months of development prompted by sustained customer demand and the growing popularity of cold-water immersion as part of at-home wellness routines.

The leading wellness company says enquiries for a more accessible ice bath – one that balances premium materials with everyday usability – have become increasingly common across its showrooms and digital channels. Many customers, SDS Australia noted, were looking for a product that delivered genuine recovery performance without the scale or cost typically associated with commercial or ultra-luxury cold-plunge systems.

After an extended period of design and testing, SDS Australia is now preparing to bring the range to market. The new 'Eira' Canadian Cedar Ice Baths feature solid Canadian Red Cedar cladding and are built around a hand-welded 316 marine-grade stainless steel tub, a construction method more often seen in higher-end recovery installations.

On release, the range will be offered in two finishes: a Natural Cedar edition, designed to highlight the character of the timber, and a Black Cedar edition, intended for more contemporary architectural settings. Both models are suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

According to SDS Australia CEO Michael Doubinski, the range was shaped directly by customer feedback.

"This is something customers have been asking for over a long period of time," Doubinski said. "The brief was clear – maintain premium material quality and performance, but deliver a more approachable entry point than our most premium systems."

Each unit will incorporate an integrated 1HP cooling system capable of delivering water temperatures between 3–42°C, allowing users to move between cold immersion and warmer recovery sessions without the use of ice. Wi-Fi control, alongside ozone sanitisation and multi-stage filtration, will support straightforward operation and consistent water quality.

Doubinski added that the engineering approach was deliberately elevated beyond what is typically seen in the category.

"We've engineered the internal cooling and water-management systems to a much higher standard than what's typically found in the ice bath market," he said.

"Rather than relying on lightweight, self-contained units commonly used in entry-level ice baths, we've taken a more robust, swimming-pool-grade approach to cooling, filtration and sanitation. The result is a system designed for longevity, stability and consistent performance over time."

Cold-water immersion continues to gain momentum among athletes, wellness practitioners and the broader public, driven by growing interest in recovery, resilience and preventative health. With the launch of the 'Eira' range, SDS Australia is responding directly to this shift in the market.

The 'Eira' Canadian Cedar Ice Bath – available in Natural and Black editions – is now available for pre-order from SDS Australia, with deliveries expected to commence in January 2026.
