  • i like it

    The new version is fantastic, with a sleek and clean interface. The transcription and summarization features work really well. I'm amazed by the ability to choose different summary templates for various meeting types - the formats for discussions, consultations, and more are incredibly tailored and I've never seen an app do this so well before. It's incredibly useful.
  • Great for everyday recordings

    The Plaud Note is a game-changer! Its seamless integration with ChatGPT for transcription and summarization, crystal-clear audio quality, and impressive battery life make it a must-have for professionals. The user-friendly app and innovative features set it apart from other voice recorders. Highly recommended!
  • Hardware is amazing but software is not!

    This app has so much potential being waisted. The AI is nothing short of difficult to use and also not accurate. The AI does not list any of the notes in order typically and doesn’t go into detail. For example if it hears a cooking recipe for bread it will hear the instructions and then relay them as such. “•Put the bread in the oven, ensure even distribution of heat.” This would be more practical to say this •”place bread in ceramic pot and place in the oven at 375 degrees to bake”
    This product has so much potential to save time. Build lists and protocol. Can integrate actions in to it like if you're heard saying “PLAUD please schedule this on June 1st” it will ask if you want to do that during the transcription process. Help salesmen everywhere evaluate their approach with people after the fact. This can do so much more but it’s not! They have a lot of work to do. I’ll change this review when my needs are more equally met. I hope the developers don’t give up on this billion dollar idea

  • Dark mode Feature please

    Just got my device and it’s amazing. I’m using it for school as well as listening to podcast so I can go back and review the information it gave to me so I can also study the things that I need to focus on
    One big thing for me though is if there could be a dark mode, that would be amazing just cause my phones on dark mode and then the app is so bright not a big deal if possible

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for choosing PLAUD NOTE! We're thrilled to hear that you find the device amazing and that it's enhancing your experience at school and with podcasts. We appreciate your feedback regarding the dark mode feature.

Thank you once again for your valuable input and for being a part of the PLAUD community.
  • Device cannot pair with app

    Despite many attempts and following their online instructions for a hard reset, the device will not pair with the app. Customer service has not responded. Feels like a scam.

    Update following developer response to this review: developer suggests nothing helpful and directs me to the unhelpful email while saying customer service is currently overwhelmed. Why are they overwhelmed? Because the product has that many problems? Sounds about right. Still waiting for a reply to my email and have tried pairing with another device without success. I’d call it a paperweight but on the plus side, it is actually a nice lightweight device.

    Developer Response

    We're truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've encountered. It's possible that charging your PLAUD NOTE via a computer for an extended period might disrupt the pairing process. Our customer service team is currently overwhelmed, but we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Please contact us again at support@plaud.ai, and we will prioritize your request to ensure a swift response. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
  • Function Suggestion

    I generally like the device and the accuracy of transcription and the AI summary. However, I hope a feature to ask or discuss further with the AI related to the contents of the audio would be very helpful.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear your enthusiasm about potential features about AI, which is indeed on our roadmap. We're excited to have you with us as these innovations become reality. Your support and input are invaluable as we strive to continually enhance our services. Looking forward to making these advancements together!
  • The App Ruins The Whole Experience

    The app is terrible. It’s buggy, slow, crashes, jerky, and practically unusable. It ruins the whole experience and makes it like a waste of time to even try to use this device.

    Today there was a firmware update for the device. It literally took two hours to update the firmware through the app. Insanity. And yet there’s no changes and the app still stinks and ruins everything.

    I can not believe that you’re not working daily on this app to make it even reasonably better to start.

    No comments from the developer or anything. It’s like they don’t care.

    I was hoping this would be as cool as advertised but it’s just another loser of a product thanks to the App. Too bad.

    Developer Response

    We apologize for the issues you're experiencing. We are actively working to improve the app and suggest updating to the latest version for better performance. The firmware update mainly extends recording time for every single audio file and does not directly impact app functionality. Please contact our customer support team at support@plaud.ai if problems persist. We appreciate your feedback and are here to help. Thank you for your patience.
  • No ChatGPT 4

    If you’re thinking of getting the application because you’re under the impression that it has ChatGPT 4 it does not. I subscribed to the Pro subscription and it’s not present in the application. It would be nice if the company clarified that in their marketing.

    Developer Response

    We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding our use of ChatGPT 4. Our summarization feature is powered by the GPT-4 model, but it does not offer direct ChatGPT 4 subscriptions. Our AI services include transcription and summarization, and we are continually developing new templates and functionalities to enhance user experience. Thank you for your feedback, and we will make sure to clarify this in our marketing materials to better inform our users.
  • Very accurate transcription

    I’m impressed with the accuracy of the transcription feature. The summary feature is also very accurate. It records my calls clearly, even with a thick case on my phone. Seems like a quality device. I hope the app continues to be supported and updated.

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback and review! We're thrilled to hear that you're satisfied with the transcription accuracy and the clarity of the call recordings. We're committed to continually improving and updating our app to ensure it meets your needs. We’re also excited to share that we have recently launched PLAUD WEB (https://app.plaud.ai/), which offers all the functionalities of our PLAUD app in a browser-based version. You can log in using your existing PLAUD account. We hope you find this new option enhances your experience even further!
  • Ordered a second one…but…

    My boss recommended to me, then let my husband try mine and now we need a second one! It’s a solid product for our purposes. But please provide an option to keep all the dialogue but remove the endless timestamps!

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your kind words and feedback! It's wonderful to hear that PLAUD has been so well-received by you and your family. Your support truly drives us forward. Regarding your request to remove timestamps, you can easily copy the transcript without timestamps by clicking the copy icon in the upper right corner of the transcription page. We hope this feature meets your needs and enhances your experience with our product!
