I think this is the best use of an "AI Device" I've seen so far... what do you think? *Get yours here* geni.us/SSP-PLAUDAI2 and use code *SPENCER5OFF* for $5 off! *Check out the Clay App here* geni.us/SSP-Clay-NA
so many questions since i watch your reviews and have already pre-ordered this. 1. how does it work undershirt as opposed to out in open; 2. stand by and recording battery life? 3. Waterproof or IP rating? 4. does it vibrate vigorously when you start recording...can you do an auto stop of recording or notify if the recording is going too long? 5. for to do lists...like if i just want to say 'add eggs to grocery list' ...how does it work to autatically categorize this in plaud notes....I'm already a plaud note user..can it automatically categorize things intelligently?
When I read your question #4, I imagined you were trying to use this device as a vibrator, also might be why you were wondering if it’s waterproof. Please don’t stick this in your ass!!!! 😂
Hmmm then I read your name “anil4real” it’s all starting to make sense. Again, please don’t stick it up your anus! I am advising this as a medical professional.
How about having English meetings and French meetings in the same day. Do I need to change the setting before each meetings within the app or does the pin understand what language I am speaking to start off with?
I like your videos. You are straight to the point and helpful because you see the use of something as in daily basis. Thats the most important. Thanks 🙏🏽 you deserve being paid for this review hehehehe Ive been considering buying a Plaud but this device looks super impressive and honestly i think im more inclined in buying this. Thanks for the review. Questions: Does it work if you attach to the phone like the plaud and records the phone calls? Does it work properly for Portuguese from Portugal language?
Thanks so much for the kind comment! To answer your first question, No it cannot record calls unless you put it on speaker and it picks it up that way. To answer your second question, I do not know! I assume the languages would be on their site but also, my intuition tells me it would be able to work with Portuguese!
@ thank you so much. Usually these type of devices go to Portuguese Brazilian language but I want Portuguese from Portugal. Either way I end up ordering the first Plaud. It’s on its way. I would prefer the size and portability of the pin but recording phone calls are a must for me at the moment. Thank you so much for your kind help and replying so fast! All the best 🙂
How long is the battery life on it? Could you wear/use it all day on one charge or would you need to charge it mid day, that’s probably one of the most important things to me.
Genuinely curious, does the physical device do anything better than what comes natively on iPhone? Kinda seems like the biggest unique use case is the (somewhat sketchy) ability to record convos more discreetly than with your phone… I guess is it just that its design encourages you to actually use voice memos more often? I have voice memos set as my action button on iPhone so I’ve managed to develop the habit but it was a deliberate effort
Great question man. I think it comes down to work flow. It’s all in app. You could technically do all of this exact stuff by importing a voice memo into chat gpt. However this records audio, transcribes, has templates for summaries, and a good filing system. Single use kinda workflow. I think that’s the biggest advantage here.
@ it seemed like you could upload audio recordings in the app that had been taken elsewhere (such as, via your phone), and still get the benefits of the software without requiring the hardware. Or have they not made that an option?
I am curious, in California all parties have to agree to be recorded do these devices let you know there could be laws that prevent the use of this device?
I would assume that’s up to the user. You have to manually start the recording so idk why that would be on Plaud if you decide to record someone without consent
Hi thank you for the video, it been really helpful however i still have a question, because i am a student and normally sit in a large classroom and a lot of people talking, will it still pick up the teacher's voice and differentiate it? and what is the maximum length between the plaud notepin to the person talking(teacher) for it to pick up the voice clearly?
I think it would do fine for this if the teacher was using a mic or was loud enough. i would assume they would be. ive used it in a lunch meeting under my shirt and it still did well.
I was almost hitting the purchase button and then I heard subscription. No thanks Im gonna wait another device with free transcription. This one is like buying a car and pay for the heating pump. Bye
Have you had the opportunity to test this with individuals with heavy accents, where English is not their primary language? I often find myself hitting the caption option on conference calls to ensure I understand the participants. That takes my eyes off them, which reduces my engagement level. Thanks in advance.
If you are in a meeting and you ask everyone to state their name to “introduce” them to the device and then it can automatically differentiate whose voice was who?
Hmmm not sure, but it would help you to match it up after the fact! The device saves names you put in so it’s as simple as tapping on “speaker 1” then typing them in or picking their name from a drop down list if you’ve recorded them before.
Apple Intelligence is going to straight up kill this company. I had the Plaud Note and used it daily until the iOS 18.1 Beta. Now I use Voice Memos and Writing Tools. Basically the exact same thing, and the best thing is it's free.
@@SpencerScottPugh Really simple: 1. Record in Voice Memos 2. Export to Notes 3. Process Transcript with Writing Tools It's actually a better workflow than what I had with the Plaud Note, which made it cumbersome to export the Transcript and Summary to an app like Notes.
@@SpencerScottPugh This seems like one of those products searching for a problem and which creates problems of its own. Also, as a corporate lawyer, the idea of people recording all of their meetings is making me die. It's bad enough when executives make dumb comments in an email or chat. It will only be worse when we have an entire recording of conversations.
i can't imagine many situations where it's illegal. recording audio in public spaces is legal in the united states at the federal level (there is no expectation of privacy in public) and most states are one-party consent even for private conversations. an exception is obviously whatever private property you're employed at, it would be a little silly to use this without permission from your employer to record business-sensitive info.

This would be insanely helpful for college class note taking.
1000%
We just used Plaud in our board meeting...it was pretty fascinating!
Awesome sauce!!!
Learned something in 60 seconds! Wow
Does it transcribe the whole conversation? Word by word? And does it work in other languages? Portuguese for instance? I do academic interviews
yes!

I haven’t tested this. However I also haven’t seen a place where you toggle languages. So I would assume it picks it up automatically!!!

@ thanks! Hope it works well for you! 🙌🏻
It's weird, I was thinking just this week if something like this exists it would be cool, then this pops out lol
Hey nice!!!
Is it possible to download or get the notes on the Remarkable 2? (nice review btw)
I guess you could add them to the remarkable app!
How long is the battery life on it? Could you wear/use it all day on one charge or would you need to charge it mid day, that’s probably one of the most important things to me.
20 hours of continuous recording and 40 days of standby time
@ not too bad, thanks!

@ I think you have to have one of their devices connected to do that. It gets greyed out if there isn’t a device connected 👎
Is the built in recorder better than that of the iPhone?
I don’t feel like it is. But they are also touting tech that helps pick up and isolate voices better so idk 🤷🏼♂️
You mentioned a version of the plaud app for PCs... where do you get that?
It’s a browser version!
How to transcribe everything to paper please help I can't figure it out I guess I'm getting too old
Have yo tried pausing? For example, a meeting that is 2 hours long but takes a break after 1hr. Do you pause it then resume?
Yeah should work!
I want it
yeah you do
Can you print the transcripts?
guess so! you can export them!
I am curious, in California all parties have to agree to be recorded do these devices let you know there could be laws that prevent the use of this device?
I would assume that’s up to the user. You have to manually start the recording so idk why that would be on Plaud if you decide to record someone without consent
If there are multiple people talking, can it differentiate who is talking?
Yes! Then you can go in and mark who it was and it’ll update the speaker everywhere they speak. Pretty cool
Is this 24-hour recording possible? Then how much do I have to pay per month?
Maybe? You don’t have to pay for recording hours, just transcription hours.

I often find myself hitting the caption option on conference calls to ensure I understand the participants. That takes my eyes off them, which reduces my engagement level. Thanks in advance.
I have not! I did see that it can transcribe many different languages though!
No annual plans , Thank you

If you delete a recording, do you get the free minutes back?
You only get charged for “transcription minutes” recordings don’t cost anything
Record Cell phone conversations?
if they are on speaker
The other Plaud product will. Plaude Note.
Apple Intelligence is going to straight up kill this company. I had the Plaud Note and used it daily until the iOS 18.1 Beta.

The apple intelligence feature sucks
They have a great product but the subscription plan in tiny🔎
Free subscription? Khmer language is supported?
Yea, no.
I cannot imagine a situation where using this device would not be absurdly awkward and/or illegal (depending on where you live).
Meetings are the best place I’ve found. Think that’s kinda Plaud’s angle here

@davem.8922 lolol that’s what the summaries are for 😂
It’s legal for me

dont need like 3 mins of disclaimers and CTA’s just get right into it and CTA at the end
