View details
Oxtak is a standalone AI voice recorder that does not require connection to smartphones or PCs. Users can perform all operations—from voice recording and data upload to AI-powered transcription—directly on the Oxtak device. Since data does not pass through external platforms, Oxtak enables secure handling of voice data with strong privacy protection. The product attracted attention at CES 2026, the world's largest technology expo held in Las Vegas, USA, in January 2026. Final development and feature improvements are currently underway, and GIZMART will conduct a pre-sale crowdfunding campaign ahead of global availability.
Oxtak Features
Privacy-First Design
Recordings in business settings—such as meetings or interviews—often contain sensitive or personal information. Therefore, AI recorders must prioritize not only convenience but also data handling. Oxtak is designed to store voice data locally on the device, not on external servers. Compared to typical cloud-based recording services, this design minimizes privacy risks associated with data transmission and third-party access.
Key Features of Oxtak
AI Transcription
Converts recorded audio into text using AI. Audio data uploaded from the recorder to Oxtak's servers is transcribed using the proprietary AI model 'Gradia' and is not stored long-term on servers. The recorded data remains solely on the user's device. Users may also choose OpenAI's 'Whisper' model for transcription.

AI Summarization
Generates summaries based on transcribed text. Users can select from multiple summary styles such as 'Meeting Notes', 'Interview Summary', or 'Executive Report'. Custom templates with user-defined prompts are also supported.
Real-Time Translation in 97 Languages
The translation function requires no pre-setting of languages. The device automatically detects spoken languages via microphone and translates them into the user's pre-set native language in real-time text. Even in multilingual conversations, each utterance is detected and translated instantly. Users' own speech can also be translated into the appropriate language on the spot.
*The list of 97 supported languages is available at the project URL below.

AI Chat
A chat function that allows users to ask questions or consult with AI via voice.
API Key Integration for Preferred AI Models
Users can link their own API keys to use their preferred AI models. Instead of being locked into a single service, users can choose models like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude based on their needs and environment.
Target Users
Designed for professionals whose work revolves around conversations—meetings, negotiations, interviews, and reporting. Ideal for sales professionals, executives, media personnel, writers, and researchers who require accurate records and strong privacy controls.
