• Professional-grade audio clarity: Dual MEMS microphones and a dedicated VPU capture clear speech within 3 meters, even in real conversations.
• Dual-mode recording: Seamlessly switch between phone calls and in-person meetings, ensuring consistent clarity across different conversation scenarios.

Key advantages include:

• Instant capture: Start recording instantly with one long-press, completely bypassing the friction of unlocking a phone, finding an app, and navigating screens.

◦ With a phone: You risk losing the flow by pausing to unlock, locate the app, and hit record—plus, incoming calls often interrupt the recording.

◦ With Plaud: You simply press and focus.

• Hardware-first clarity: Plaud Note utilizes dual MEMS microphones and a dedicated VPU to capture clear audio from up to 3 meters away. Most smartphones are designed for near-field calls and struggle to capture clear voices in meetings or shared workspaces.

• Professional endurance: Plaud Note delivers up to 30 hours of continuous recording on a single charge. This ensures you never run out of power during long sessions and keeps your phone battery free for other work.

• From audio to insight: A phone app records files; Plaud extracts value. The device seamlessly integrates with the Plaud App to transcribe and transform conversations into structured insights using 10 000+ professional summary templates tailored to your specific industry.

Plaud Note is a professional-grade AI note-taking device designed for busy meetings, calls and on-the-go capture.

It records audio via its hardware, then uses powerful AI models (e.g., GPT-5.1, Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini 3 Pro) to perform two core functions:

• Transcription: Captures speech and converts it into text; supports many languages (112 supported).
• Summarization & extraction: After transcription, the system identifies key information, action items, decisions, and generates usable summaries.

It features dual recording modes: for phone calls and for in-person meetings. For example, one-press recording for calls, high-capacity storage (64GB), long standby, and dedicated hardware.

Workflow:

You record the audio using the device.

Audio is stored locally on the device first (giving you more control, especially for sensitive content).

Later it syncs to Plaud App where AI processing happens (transcription + summarization).

You can export, review, and search your notes and transcripts across devices.
