How the AI is reshapingInteractive Flat PanelFrom Handwriting Recognition to Automatic Summarization

From natural writing, graphic recognition, and real-time speech-to-text, to meeting minutes, task extraction, and multilingual collaboration, explore how the Qtenboard Q AI system-level framework is transforming educational and enterprise meeting processes

A whiteboard full of content, how to continue working after the meeting? In the traditional scene, the members of the meeting write down their views on the whiteboard, one person is responsible for taking pictures or manually sorting out, and the decisions, tasks and responsible persons need to be re-entered after the meeting. Some of the content may be missed, some of the handwriting is illegible, and teams in different languages have to complete additional translation. In the teaching scene, teachers need to write formulas, keywords, processes and diagrams on the screen, students need to organize blackboard writing after class, and teachers need to re-make lecture notes and review materials-traditional whiteboard content is usually difficult to structure, save and reuse.

The value of AI is not just for the whiteboard to "see" handwritten content, but for the system to recognize, understand, organize, and continue to use this content. Handwriting can be converted into digital text, sketches can be converted into regular graphics, meeting speech can generate text records, and discussions on whiteboards can be further developed into summaries, decisions, and to-do tasks.

Qtenboard launchedQ AI System-Level AI Framework, is not a simple software plug-in or cloud tool, but a native intelligent architecture deeply integrated into the hardware, software and algorithm layers.

1. Q AI: system-level AI framework, not surface functions

Why is system-level AI more important than "AI functionality?

Most "AI interactive whiteboards" on the market add AI as a surface feature-a plug-in, a cloud tool, or a simple chatbot. These features tend to perform poorly when the network is unstable, the scene is complex, or accuracy is really important.

Qtenboard took a fundamentally different approach. Q AI is a proprietary system-level AI framework that is deeply integrated at the hardware, software, and algorithmic levels of AI interactive whiteboards. AI are not add-ons, but are built into the native architecture of the device. This means that AI interactive whiteboards can work reliably in real office and educational scenarios-both online and offline-as practical assistants rather than marketing concepts.

Q AI four design principles:Local computing first, optional cloud collaboration, AI interoperability, scene-oriented design.

Local-first AI architecture

Q AI's core transcription runs locally on the device, eliminating cloud latency and network dependency. Qtenboard integrate custom noise-canceling microphone arrays and local speech algorithms to ensure clear capture in multi-speaker, noisy environments.

Core competencies include:Real-time noise reduction, speaker differentiation, 40 languages and dialects support, industry term recognition, custom vocabulary library.

For global teams, real-time multilingual translation supports smoother cross-border communication. The core transcription function runs entirely locally on the device and can be used without networking.
