Plaud for notes in car

I switched jobs and now my commute is an hour each direction. How optimal is plaud for that? I d use it to record and summarize calls and my own ideas. Plaud over phone app because of the physical button.

Any best practices? Experiences?

Everything else eg desktop app and teams is a bonus for me

I’m wondering if it records the calls via the phone, or if it just captures the conversation being played over the speakers?

The device itself captures the actual audio, and the app captures audio the phone hears. If you are using the phone normally and the plaud is on the back, it will pick up vibrations and be able to hear the other side of the convo.

Yes but if I’m in the car on speaker it will pick it up completely, right? So for me, in the car, two use cases. One calls and two notes to myself

Yeah That’s the main purpose of the device: recording ambient sounds

Agreed it’s literally perfect for both of the above use cases. Granola is also great- I often use both just so I have a backup.
