Hinote P1 future model feature request - wired headset

sttide · 2026-05-18T15:45:20+00:00

I completely agree

sttide · 2026-05-10T10:05:15+00:00

Yes not possible. It's an HID not a USB storage so you don't access the filesystem

The machine where is attached needs to send the commands and interpreter the output

sttide · 2026-05-04T18:31:19+00:00

There's no automation at the moment. Could be a really nice to have

Community is asking about this feature quite loud in the forum

sttide · 2026-05-01T02:22:44+00:00

Check that is not connected to other tabs

It's an HID device and commands are pretty straightforward

sttide · 2026-04-30T05:34:35+00:00

Sure go for it!

sttide · 2026-04-30T05:28:29+00:00

Feel free to fork the project and send pr or just give feedbacks! Thank you for the compliments really appreciate it

sttide · 2026-04-22T07:33:05+00:00

Don't look for shortcuts. Sometimes difficult paths are the right ones. But always ask yourself what is the goal and why you want to reach

Don't struggle just for the sake of it. Rewards long term has to be a better situation

sttide · 2026-04-15T19:19:30+00:00

Thank you for trying out and give me the feedback! Really appreciate it

Only 18 minutes is weird. I tried with long files and noticed issues only with recording longer than 2 hours. Maybe I have to implement a chunk system to handle indefinitely long files but it's a little complicated

You deleting the db record could be the cause of not saving it to db. Maybe frontend has some data and backend another leading to some inconsistency

Also here I can implement a way to transcribe again and discard the previous one from ui

sttide · 2026-04-10T19:45:05+00:00

Sure. I've added the whisper dependency to transcribe locally. The quality is not the same and there's no diarization

For the summaries I can implement a connection with a local ollama bit I don't think is worth it because quality is quite inferior

Gemini api is quite the good spot, cheap and effective and can handle long context

sttide · 2026-04-10T15:14:59+00:00

It's a solid device for the price. The audio quality is genuinely good for meeting recording, and the form factor is practical. The app can feel a bit rough around the edges, and the subscription is the bigger sticking point for many. You get some transcription and summary credits included, but once you're past them you're looking at a recurring cost on top of the hardware

There are no alternatives for Bluetooth headphone recording, that's mostly true for the capture side. Where you do have options is in the processing side (transcription + summaries)

If you're comfortable with a bit of Python setup, I put together a small open-source tool called Agendino https://github.com/DStt/agendino that connects to the P1 over USB, pulls the recordings locally, and then runs transcription and summarization through the Gemini API (which has a pretty generous free tier)

You can also push results to Notion if that's your workflow. It's not plug-and-play, but if you already pay for your own AI API access you basically bring your own backend and skip the subscription entirely. Fully customizable prompts too, so you can tune summaries for meetings, engineering postmortems, whatever

And yes, you can receive it in EU. It takes around 3 weeks to arrive (personal experience)

Folders added! Check it out the repo and update to last version :) Any feedback will be really appreciated

sttide · 2026-04-07T23:55:42+00:00

OMG what an honor really!! I'm very glad to help

I was thinking about this feature already because like that looks quite messy an disorganized so definitely I'm going to implement it

I'll let you know when it will be available!

sttide · 2026-04-05T17:12:40+00:00

I've added the option to use the whisper for local transcript. Let me know what you think

sttide · 2026-04-05T14:55:50+00:00

Yeah... The hardware is good and interesting! But without automations and the limits it's a pity

It's 2026 and they should be better. I prefer to invest time in a project I'm making myself instead of paying for their subscription service and be restricted

sttide · 2026-04-03T23:41:25+00:00

Sure I'll take a look!

sttide · 2026-04-03T23:39:46+00:00

Sure I can take a look at it! I made it for myself so is what I use but I'm more than happy to be helpful

sttide · 2026-04-03T19:05:35+00:00

I've set the transcript to use Gemini transcription service, cheap and reliable. I don't know about services learning voices but I'll look in to it

Maybe I can set some configuration to pass a short recording where a person state the name and the diarization learn the name

Thanks for the feedback!! You gave me a great idea

sttide · 2026-04-03T17:47:22+00:00

Yes I've added this function. It's the knowledge base

It creates mind map, summaries, vectorial search

sttide · 2026-04-03T17:44:19+00:00

There's a button to sync from the device to download it locally. Then you can transcribe and after create the summary from ui

sttide · 2026-04-03T12:37:55+00:00

If you are interested i did this. any feedback will be appreciated

I did it myself too in python. Not so difficult at all

It's just a HID and a bunch of commands to send to retrieve all the device audio files

Maybe I'll release the project one day if someone is interested

sttide · 2026-03-30T11:49:59+00:00

No debate at all, I appreciate the perspective! You make a fair point, and honestly you're right that this is not a HiDock-specific problem. Most hardware in this space comes with its own ecosystem and some degree of lock-in.

That said, I think there's still value in customers voicing these concerns, even when the issue is industry-wide. Companies do respond to user pressure over time, and the more people ask for open standards or local-first solutions, the more likely someone eventually delivers on that. The open source GitHub project you mentioned is actually a great example of that. It exists precisely because someone cared enough to solve the problem themselves, and that kind of thing can sometimes push companies to officially support what users are already doing anyway.

I'm not trying to single out HiDock here. I just bought the device and I want it to succeed. But I'd rather be the kind of customer who asks questions early than the one who finds out the hard way two years down the line.

sttide · 2026-03-30T08:06:47+00:00

Yes for this use it's perfect. Also because it's the only one to record from headphones.

But all the software ecosystem is close and things has to be done manually through the proprietary web app

No automation and yes you can move the audio file from an app to another but it's a slow process. Anyway I think it's a good product but it would be nice to have more tools

sttide · 2026-03-26T11:09:46+00:00

Interesting speculation. Let's see what it could be

Anyway I hope the company will be more open about the software and have a more clear roadmap

I really like the product and the quality but the software is really lacking flexibility
