  • Impressed - a good piece of tech

    I got the plaud in the kickstarter campaign- I like the tech and I think it works well. I think the summary option could be improved - hopefully the new upgrade will do that. Pausing a recording and resuming would be a great feature - like the native voice recorder in iPhone. Keep improving!

    Thank you so much for your support and feedback, which are vital in guiding our improvements. We're excited to let you know that we've upgraded to the GPT-4 model and have introduced new meeting summary templates, aiming to enhance your summarization experience. Currently, the PLAUD NOTE hardware does not support pausing and resuming recordings directly, but if you're using the PLAUD App, you can pause and resume just like you would with the native voice recorder on the iPhone. We hope these updates meet your needs and we're committed to continually enhancing our features!
  • So helpful!

    I’m using the PLAUD note at work. During our meetings I have to run the slideshow, control the sound, take attendance, and take notes so that I can write a meeting recap later on. This device has taken one thing off my plate and made my life easier. Thank you!

  • Major reliability problems with the App

    Yes the transcription and Summary are AMAZING! But the rest of the app needs huge improvements. Lots of parts of the app (settings) are in a different language. The app overall freezes all the time for simple actions. I wish the app has a folder structure so notes could be organized too not just tags.

  • They don’t even reply to return back even after 48 hours

    They don’t even reply to return back even after 48 hours. I am still waiting for I can return this device.
  • Recorder seems good, but the app is unstable

    Constantly looses connection to recorder, and freezes.
  • Good but can get better

    With the purchase of a device you should really get a 5 or 10 year free unlimited subscription. especially this early on in the process of their release. we are the advocates of your device and I’d be more than happy to tell people how happy I am with it, but currently with a saas billing model, I yet to see the monthly cost outweigh the benefits

We value your support as an early advocate and thank you for your feedback, which is crucial for our continuous improvement.
  • Too much potential to waste

    The app really wastes the potential of this product. I’ve used Audiopen forever but always needed an easy way to start a recording before I forget (ADHD). I was hoping that this would be the dream version of AudioPen. The app isn't intuitive at all, it's actually quite bland for something that has a $200 device. The summaries and mind maps are pointless (How is a 30 minute conversation a paragraph summary?), the "style" choices are lacking (AudioPen has a ton plus you can prompt your own), basically every reason you'd want the Plaud device is ruined by the massive lack of attention to the app. Currently, I download the transcriptions from the app and run them through AudioPen lol. Maybe y'all should check it out for some improvement ideas.

We have recently launched four new meeting summary templates that might better suit your requirements. Additionally, we are excited to announce the release of our browser-based application, PLAUD WEB (https://app.plaud.ai/), which may offer a more satisfying experience. We're committed to enhancing our app's intuitiveness and functionality, and we appreciate your detailed feedback as it guides our improvements.
  • Free trial was great

    Edit: latest updated solved my problem.

    The latest app crashes too consistently to allow me to redeem my prepaid code. Literally can’t open my profile without it crashing.

  • Garage!

    Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time! Spend an hour trying to set it up only to repeatedly get failures. I doubt it would have worked anyway.

  • Need Option to Remove Minutes/Seconds from Transcripts

    Please enhance the app so you can remove all references to the minute’s & seconds when exporting your transcripts to a text file to sending over text messaging. Sometimes I want to capture the entire conversation and export it. It’s extremely painful to have to manually delete the timings from the transcript.
