Former engineers of Meta have established a new startup. Their company, Sandbar, has just released a new smart ring. The smart ring is called the Stream. This device captures your thoughts using your voice, and transcribes your words almost simultaneously. It acts as a mouse, but for your voice.
You wear the ring on your index finger. The ring has a built-in microphone. It also has a touchpad surface. The microphone is off by default. To start the microphone, press and hold the touchpad. The ring can even capture quiet whispers!
The ring records your voice notes. It instantly transcribes your voice notes into text. All voice notes are saved in the iOS app. You can either edit or write your notes later. A conversational AI chatbot can help you organize your notes and even refine your voice notes.
To interact with your old notes you can also pinch them. The ring also provides haptic feedback, letting you know the ring captured the note. You can pair headphones if you would like to have private conversations. You can also use the touch surface to control music or media playback on your phone.
The silver model sells for $249, and the gold model is $299. You can pre-order now, but you will need to wait for delivery until next summer. A Pro subscription plan costs $10/month and it gives you unlimited chats and early access to features.
The ring creates a personalized voice assistant. It makes the assistant sound like you. Add reminders without speaking aloud. Create shopping lists through touch. Adjust volume and skip tracks easily. The device works without phone access.
Sandbar raised $13 million in funding. True Ventures contributed to this funding. Upfront Ventures also invested in the project. Betaworks joined the funding round. The team includes experienced tech engineers. They previously worked at Meta.
The ring helps during travel. It works well in crowded places. You can capture ideas discreetly. The device organizes your random thoughts. It improves productivity throughout your day. The technology simplifies digital note-taking.
