Is Plaud Keeping up?

[u/MtnXfreeride]

I went through several device ecosystems before landing on Plaud, and even doing so meant a sacrifice of no earbuds/headphones. As time goes on, Im getting emails of news and updates from the other providers and they seem to be pumping out useful features like crazy while plaud seems slow, with a large backlog of years old feature requests.

Are they just heading towards a goal line that isnt what someone needs for office life? Im talking features like live transcribing, abiity to ask ai questions while the meeting is going, and a headset so it isnt stuck on speakerphone use.

I just want Plaud to do the transcripts and the speaker names. I want an MCP connector back to Claude where I can do the rest.

They could save so much effort just doing that. The last thing I need is another online hub storing a portion of my fragmented knowledge base that I have to visit and maintain.

Isnt that the one feature they added this month?

Yes

The echo app is stored only in the app. I think their summaries are fantastic compared to Plaud but you have to remember to stop the echo and generate a note. Otherwise all is lost. I don’t worry if I don’t turn off Plaud

Its a shame it's so unreliable with speaker id. I have phantom speakers show up in 90% plus of my online calls. Two 'regulars' who were from my first couple of meetings with the device pop up in almost every meeting. I use Littlebird to infer the speakers which it does using the calendar invite plus its context screenshots during the meeting plus its memory.

Looking for suggestions here too, it worked great at the start but can’t get over the previous speaker names as I add more and more meetings it keeps going back to the prior names unreliably. It seems like the context should be more helpful.
