Meet your new digital assistant: Plaud Note. Fresh from its Kickstarter campaign, this sleek, card-shaped device affixes to your iPhone’s back using MagSafe, allowing you to record phone calls, meetings, and voice memos on the move. Through its specialized app, Plaud Note utilizes ChatGPT to transform these recordings into transcriptions, meeting summaries, mind maps, to-do lists, and other organizational tools.
The compact Plaud Note offers an impressive 30 hours of recording time on one charge, along with a standby duration of 60 days. When it needs recharging, simply use the included cable. With its 64GB of internal storage, the device has the capacity to record up to 240 hours of audio.
Plaud Note isn’t constantly active; it requires a tap on the recording button to start capturing audio. Conveniently designed, the button is easily accessible, allowing you to quickly initiate recording by tapping the back of your phone where the device is attached.
The standout feature of Plaud Note is its flawless integration with ChatGPT technology. Once your audio is recorded—be it a meeting, lecture, or phone call—the companion app transcribes it meticulously. Following the transcription, ChatGPT takes over to structure and summarize the content, offering outputs in four distinct formats: meeting notes, class notes, diary entries, and mind maps.
The Plaud Note eliminates the need for hurried note-taking or later trying to make sense of hard-to-read handwriting. It delivers your recordings in a clear, well-organized format, customized for various uses.
Its advanced noise-cancellation feature ensures that essential details are captured distinctly, even amidst background noise.
Hands-on demonstrations on YouTube show the device’s effectiveness in capturing audio clearly, even when placed in a pocket. However, users should be cautious about recording calls, as this is illegal in many areas. The device adeptly transcribes audio from multiple speakers, such as in a presentation video, and efficiently organizes the information into convenient note formats.
Digital assistants like Siri and Alexa offer their own advantages, but the Plaud Note AI Voice Recorder stands out as a potential revolution in simplifying note-taking and summarizing key discussions.
The device’s price of Rs 13,270 might appear steep, but for those who frequently find themselves in lengthy calls, the Plaud Note could prove to be an invaluable investment.
