FAQ
What are the main differences between Plaud NotePin and Plaud Note/Note Pro?
Plaud NotePin is Plaud’s smallest, wearable AI note taker, ideal for professionals that are on the go and have most of their conversations in person. On the other hand, Plaud Note and Plaud Note Pro are for professionals that are heavily reliant on phone calls.
How is Plaud better than using a phone app?
Plaud provides many advantages over recording with your smartphone, including: Extended Battery: Up to 20 hours of continuous recording with Plaud NotePin. Long Range Capture: State of the art microphones capture clear audio from greater distances. Convenient Form Factor: One press to record makes it extremely easy and seamless to start capturing conversations. With a phone, the experience looks like: Pausing the conversation to pull out the phone. Unlocking the phone. Opening the recording app. If you switch apps or get a phone call, the recording stops. 4. Summary Templates: Plaud automatically transcribes and summarizes your conversations with AI. You can build your own custom summary template, or pick from thousands of professional summary templates for every use case and industry.
How is Plaud better than the online notetakers like Microsoft Copilot or Google Meet?
Plaud is designed for universal professional coverage across all scenarios: Plaud captures every conversation, not just online conferencing—in-person meetings, phone calls, and even conference keynotes. Dedicated hardware provides 10x more convenience and avoids disruption vs. launching a computer/phone application in an in-person setting. Create your own custom summary template or pick from 10,000+ professional summary templates tailored precisely to your professional role or industry.
Who are the typical users of Plaud?
Plaud is used by over 2.5 million working professionals, many of which rely heavily on meetings and conversations, including roles such as: Clinicians Sales Educators Executives Lawyers Content Creators
Is Plaud HIPAA / SOC 2 / GDPR / EN 18031 / ISO 27001/ 27701 compliant?
Yes! Privacy and data security are at the core of Plaud. Plaud adheres to the highest compliance standards including SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001/27701 and EN 18031.
What about consent for recording?
Before capturing a conversation, it’s good practice to give others a quick heads-up. Local regulations differ, so if you’re unsure, a quick check helps you stay confident. Not sure how to ask for consent? Here is an easy one-liner: “Mind if I use my AI note taker so I don’t miss any details/follow-ups from our chat? I can share the notes with you after as well.”
Do I have to pay a monthly fee to use Plaud?
You do not! Plaud is free to use for up to 300 minutes every month. However, we do have Plaud AI membership plans for professionals that use it every single day.
Can Plaud record in larger spaces? Big meeting rooms, conferences, etc.
Yes, Plaud is engineered to record effectively in larger spaces such as big meeting rooms, lecture halls, and conferences.
Does the Plaud NotePin support phone call recording?
The Plaud NotePin doesn't have a V.C.S(Vibration Conduction Sensor), so it doesn't support phone call recording.
Is the Plaud NotePin compatible with the Find My feature on my iPhone?
Yes, you can add your NotePin to the “Find My” feature. It will allow you to locate your NotePin when it is lost. To do that, please follow the steps below: Tap your Plaud NotePin on the top-left and go to the device settings page. Swipe down and tap “Find My”. Tap “Add NotePin to Find My” and follow the instructions to add your NotePin to Find My.
How to reset the Plaud NotePin?
To reset your Plaud NotePin, please charge the Plaud NotePin and long-press the record button for 12 seconds.
Can I wear Plaud NotePin if I have a pacemaker?
The sensitivity of a pacemaker to magnetic fields depends on both the strength of the magnetic field and the rate of change. Generally, magnetic fields ranging from a few gauss to several thousand gauss can potentially interfere with pacemakers. Our magnetic pin and clip generate magnetic fields up to 2100 gauss. For users with pacemakers, we advise against wearing the Plaud NotePin on the chest area (whether with the lanyard, magnetic pin, or clip) due to its magnetic properties.
How do I find the serial number of Plaud NotePin?
The Serial Number is a unique identifier that is utilized to identify and distinguish devices. It is commonly used for product management, device maintenance, and warranty services. If you're searching for the Serial Number (SN) of your Plaud NotePin, there are several locations to check: Inspect the box that the Plaud NotePin arrived in. The SN is imprinted on a label. Open the Plaud App and enter the device settings page. The SN is displayed on this page. You can also find it on the back of the Plaud NotePin.
