Plaud

It isn't clear that this can't be used without a Plaud device. "Import" is on the app menu, with an option "from file", but that takes you to "Bind device" and you can't use audio files you already have,nor use your phone's microphone for the input. Therefore I won't consider buying a Plaud device, because not only do they cost more than I've ever paid for a phone, but I can't be sure they'll work with the app. (And unreadable miniature light grey font on white, no dark mode; doesn't bode well.)

I suggest anyone to explore all the templates before generating the AI summaries. They're so good!!! The accuracy is amazing and even if a meeting or lecture is all over the place, it organizes it in a way that makes sense. I ordered a bracelet for the Plaud notepin and used it for a training class where the instructor was walking throughout the room. It still picked up the speaker very well. You'll want to go unlimited.

Update 08/11/25: Another feature that I would love to see. The ability to pause recordings. I'd love to be able to double or triple tap the record button and pause a recording on demand. Love it! I use it everyday and it gives me the opportunity to be more attentive on meetings, take better notes and be more productive. I would love it if there was a way to take note while my headphones are in, but this works. Becoming a premium member has paid for itself time and time again!!
