Korean Expat Community for National Disasters

• 목록

Honestly, I am not the type of person who jumps on new technology right away. But AI has been coming up so often in conversation lately that I started trying things out one by one, and I realized it has quietly made its way into everyday life more than I expected.

The first thing I started using was Naver ClovaNote. It is an app that records audio and automatically converts it into text, and the accuracy for Korean speech recognition is surprisingly high. It is especially useful when following along in a lecture or meeting while also trying to take notes at the same time. I recommended it to some international student friends and they liked it too.

The second thing I have been using a lot lately is the AI features on Samsung Galaxy phones. If you use a Galaxy, you probably already know, but the real-time call translation feature is smoother than I expected. I actually tried it on a call with a foreign friend, and while it was not perfect, it was more than enough to get the conversation across.

Korea has such strong IT infrastructure that new technology tends to spread quickly here. I am curious to see what else comes out next.
