Connect Anker Soundcore Work for Notta to the Notta app to import recordings, transcribe audio, create AI summaries, and manage your recordings. This article explains how to connect the device, record audio, and use your recordings in Notta.
Note: Only the custom partner model, Anker Soundcore Work for Notta, can connect to the Notta app. The standard soundcore Work cannot connect to Notta.
Before you start
- Update the Notta app to version 6.84.12 or later on iOS or Android.
- Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and allow Notta to use Bluetooth before connecting the device for the first time.
- Available Notta features and usage limits depend on your subscription plan and workspace permissions.
- Registering the device does not automatically add a Notta software plan or transcription time. Redeem the activation code on the license card included in the package.
Use the device
Charge the device
Place the microphone in the charging case to charge it automatically when the case has enough battery. Use the included USB-C cable to charge the case.
After connecting to the Notta app, open the soundcore Work device details page to check the battery level for Microphone and Charging case. If either item shows “--”, reconnect the device and check again.
Start and stop recording
- Open the clip and attach the microphone to your clothing. Keep the microphone uncovered.
- Press the Record button on the microphone once to start recording.
- Press the Record button again to stop recording.
Start recordings from the soundcore Work device. Even when the device is connected to Notta, you cannot start or stop a recording from Start Recording in the Notta app.
soundcore Work supports in-person recording. It does not support call recording. You can also record with the device while it is disconnected from Notta, then import the recording later.
Mark important moments
Double-tap the microphone during recording to add a mark at an important moment. Once the recording has been uploaded to the Notta cloud, the mark remains visible in the recording.
Continuous recording and saving
The device can continue recording while it has sufficient battery. Every 6 hours of continuous recording, the audio recorded up to that point is saved as a separate recording and recording continues. Six hours is the interval for saving separate recordings, not the maximum continuous recording time.
Connect soundcore Work to Notta
- Open the Notta app and go to Settings > Smart devices.
- Select Soundcore Work, then tap Connect.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to make the device available for connection and wait while Notta searches for nearby devices.
- Select the device you want to register, then tap Connect.
- When Confirm on your device appears, place the microphone in the charging case and briefly press the button on the bottom of the case once.
- Wait for Notta to finish connecting and registering the device.
Note: If the device is registered to another Notta account, remove it from the original account before registering it again.
Transfer recordings to Notta
After you stop recording, connect soundcore Work to the Notta app and follow the on-screen instructions to import the recording.
Recordings transfer from the device to your phone first. After the transfer is complete, the file is removed from the device to free up storage. The Notta app then uploads it to the cloud. Keep your phone connected to the internet until the upload is complete.
| Transfer method | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Bluetooth | A small number of files or transfers while away from home or the office | Keep the device connected to your phone. You cannot manually cancel an import after it begins. |
| Wi-Fi | Long recordings or a large number of files | Your phone connects directly to the device’s Wi-Fi, so the phone’s internet connection is temporarily unavailable during transfer. |
- Stop recording on the device.
- Open the Notta app and confirm that soundcore Work is connected.
- Follow the instructions on the recording transfer screen to import files. Switch to Wi-Fi when prompted if you need a faster transfer.
- Wait for both the device transfer and cloud upload to finish.
- Open the imported recording and confirm that it displays and plays normally.
Open Transfer Recordings on the device details page to view instructions for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transfers.
Use your recordings in Notta
Real-time transcription and translation
To use real-time transcription or real-time translation while recording, keep the device connected to your phone through Bluetooth and start recording from the device. For real-time translation, select the target language on the recording details page.
Transcribe recordings
When you register soundcore Work for the first time, automatic transcription for device recordings is turned on by default. Notta starts transcribing recordings automatically after you import them.
To turn off automatic transcription, open the device details page, select Settings, then turn off Auto-transcribe device recordings. You can still import recordings after turning this off. To transcribe one manually, open the recording and select Start transcription.
Note: Importing a soundcore Work recording does not use a file import. Transcription uses the transcription time available in your current Notta plan.
Create an AI summary
After transcription is complete, use AI Summary to organize the important points from a recording.
- Open a recording with completed transcription.
- Select AI Summary and choose a template that fits your purpose.
- Review, edit, or share the generated summary.
To create AI summaries automatically for future recordings, go to Settings > AI Summary in the Notta app. Turn on automatic AI summary generation and select a template.
Software benefits and activation codes
Registering soundcore Work does not automatically activate a software plan. Redeem the activation code on the license card included in the package.
Only the workspace owner can redeem an activation code.
- Sign in to the Notta app or Notta Web and select the workspace where you want to activate the benefits.
- Open the activation code redemption screen and enter the code from the license card.
- Review the plan, number of accounts, start date, and expiration date, then confirm redemption.
Tip: What happens after redemption may vary based on your current plan and workspace. Review the plan, number of accounts, and expiration date shown on the redemption screen before confirming.

- Stop recording and wait for any file transfer to finish.
