PLAUD - Note Pro Smart AI Voice/Audio Recorder - Silver

I was a bit skeptical but eager to find a device like this that could record and summarize meetings and ideas. It was a bit stubborn to set up initially but, as an amateur, I'm proud I was able to master it. The instructions were minimal but I was able to find help on YouTube, etc. Once I set it up, I tested it a couple of times before attending a big conference. Easy and helpful. At the big conference, it recorded from the middle of the auditorium (which seems to have had good accoustics). Got home and found it fairly easy to download and get transcriptions in both summarized form and verbatim. Both seemed accurate although some technical terms were amusing. I haven't really tested the verbal replay. In another use, I speak into it with ideas or longer pieces - and I get summaries I can use later. It is a bit awkward if I pause too long while dictating - it seems to stop and start, so when I copy and paste, I have several sections to copy. Once you put it in the provided case as instructed, it seems almost impossible to get out - but I'm not sure I need to get it out. But I love it. Lightweight, inconspicuous, easy to use. A bit pricey for the Note Pro, but I'm glad I bought it! (Attached photo is as it looks in its convenient case.)

Besides recording and summarizing phone calls and meetings, I recorded a church sermon for kicks and a medical consultation with a doctor and nurse when my wife had a reoccurrence of cancer speaking medical terms and instructions that made my head spin. Not only did it capture and summarize everything, it organized the meeting in an easy to understand table. I love the summary capability and link to the actual voice recording. I dislike the specialized charging cable and my inability to find a second cable. I misplaced the cable for a week snd drained the battery, What's up with that? However, I still love the product

Lasts long time. Easy to use. Always ready.love it!

Just double tap and boom recording meeting. The best is the ai summary that is so easy to understand. The free membership minutes get eaten up quickly.

I really love this device and use it almost every day. It’s been super helpful for meetings, notes, and keeping my workflow organized, and I definitely think it was worth the purchase. Super easy to use and battery life is great. I’m still deciding whether I’ll get the unlimited minutes plan, but even without it, I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it. My only complaint is that if you forget to stop the recording, you can end up recording a lot more than you intended! Overall, I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend it.
