A: undefined
Q: Does your phone or computer need to be next to you?
A: No, the device will record audio without being next to a phone. But, you will need to pair it to send the audio to the phone in order to transcribe and summarize the audio. Great devices from Plaud.
Q: Thie plaud note pin Memory can be pair with Appel phone or Android phone
A: ✅ What Plaud does: Plaud is a portable AI recorder (often marketed as “Plaud Note”) — it records audio, stores it in its app, and offers AI transcription via its own cloud service, which is the main reason people buy it. ⚠️ The catch: Plaud’s free plan is extremely limited — they make money on the transcription service, not just the recorder hardware. If you don’t pay for Plaud’s subscription, you’ll only get a small amount of free transcription minutes per month (usually ~5–10 minutes). Beyond that, you’re pushed into their paid plan. ✅ Good news: Yes, you can use Plaud to just record audio — then export the audio file (usually MP3 or WAV) to your computer or phone and transcribe it somewhere else for free (like Whisper or ChatGPT). Plaud’s app lets you download your raw recordings — you just have to skip their cloud transcription and manually upload your file to your preferred AI tool. ⚙️ How this works in practice: Record your meeting with Plaud. Open the Plaud app, export or share the audio file (most people use email, AirDrop, or cloud storage). Upload that file to: A free Whisper web tool (like Whisper on Hugging Face). Or use your own local Whisper install. Or drop the file into ChatGPT if you have file upload enabled (for Plus/Pro users). No Plaud subscription needed if you skip their built-in transcription. ✅ Bottom line ✔️ Yes, you can record with Plaud + transcribe with ChatGPT or Whisper = no subscription required. ✔️ You just won’t get Plaud’s convenience of auto-upload-and-transcribe. ✔️ And you’ll need to do the manual step of moving the file.

The Plaud device performs as expected and delivers solid recording quality under the right conditions. For optimal results, enable your phone’s speaker during calls — this allows the device’s microphone to capture both sides of the conversation clearly. When using Bluetooth earbuds or wired headphones, only your side of the call will be recorded, which is a hardware limitation rather than a software issue. I recommend pairing the device with a lanyard for consistent positioning and stability. While the clip and magnetic “pin” versions offer convenience, they’re less reliable for physical activity, such as running or workouts, where dislodging is possible. Overall, this is a well-engineered device that works exactly as intended if used within its design parameters

Not completely sold on this particular unit. So much so that I ordered another brand to compare. One glaring issue is the lack of an integrated USB-C port on the unit. You will need to use the charging dock to charge it. Which also means all those “accessories” to hold it needs to be put somewhere. Operating the unit - you cannot just “touch” to activate. You MUST press hard and hold down until it feels like recording. Its a nice looking device - but it needs work.

I’ve been using the PLAUD NotePin V2 for a bit now, and honestly, it’s super handy. It’s small, clips on easily, and the sound quality is a lot better than I expected for something this size. It’s great for meetings or just jotting down quick voice notes when I don’t feel like typing. That said, the app side could be smoother. The transcriptions aren’t always spot on, and sometimes I have to fix them after. Still, for the size and convenience, I really like it. If you want something lightweight and simple for capturing notes on the go, this does the job really well.
