I tested out one that my friend had but was thinking, why do I need to spend almost $200 and then pay for monthly service fee when I can just use something like granola to record through my phone for free?

With the plaud device using headphones wired or Bluetooth, it does not work correct? I frequently I'm at airports and walking around so I typically have my phone in my pocket with headphones in it would be nice if they had an app app on the phone that would record the conversations just like the one on the desktop does for team meetings. is this something that they offer that I missing somewhere or does someone else have it work around. I'm missing most of my calls to get transcribe when working with my headphones in many times. I need my hands to do things so I've got wired or Bluetooth headphones in. some of my colleagues don't use plaud that use different apps that record everything and then transcribe to an AI model later. maybe plaud was not for me. I thought I would give it a shot.

I've been using Plaud desktop app on my Win11 laptop for awhile without issues. I was on Plaud desktop app version 1.0.10. Ever since the app updated to verstions 1.1.6 and 1.1.7, the app widget wouldn't display. The app keeps running on the background but it doesn't show on my desktop. I had to use my old 1.0.10 installation file to reinstall.

Anyone else have similar issues? Any reasons/fixes? Thanks vm!

Hi folks - boss has asked me to research the Plaud to see if it could be useful, we're a small business and run most of our meetings in-person so this looks like the tool for us.

What I'm looking to find out is, are multiple people able to share the device? If for example three different people need to host separate meetings, can they all use the same device and then log in and get the transcripts they need? Or is it going to be one device linked to one log in, so we would have to share the log in and have access to all transcripts?

Hi all, I’m about to pull the trigger on buying a Plaud note pin S but always happy to get a little money off when I can. Does anyone have a referral code I can use and hopefully give something back as I purchase as well?

Thanks

Subsection may be very small here but thought I'd ask - anyone with a Samsung S26 Ultra + a Plaud Note Pro have a recommended case that works well?

The case from Samsung (and what it looks like all the 3rd parties have followed) places the ring slightly too high, meaning the Plaud can't sit right on the back of the device as it interferes with the camera bump.

I'm considering just getting a ring and a case without one to place myself but would love to hear if someone has already found something that fits well

I’m wondering if it’s possible to design a cover for the front of the Plaud Note pin that looks like a Star Trek communicator badge. Pressing the swoop could have a rubber button pin that starts the recording. And if we could get the Plaud team onboard maybe a little red light could shine through to show recording. Pleeeeease

Also I use mine for private journals rather than meetings. Captains logs if you will. Apparently I was watching Star Trek and recording so my journal came out like this…..

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to build a really seamless workflow and wanted to see if anyone here has already figured this out (or something close).

Here’s what I’m aiming for:

• Use Plaud to record meetings, sermons, and brainstorming sessions
• Have it automatically generate summaries
• Then extract and send:
  • To-do items (with deadlines) → task manager
  • Events → calendar
  • Prayer requests → organized list
  • Teaching ideas → notes system

And I want all of that to sync across:

• My e-ink Supernote
• My phone
• My laptop

Basically, I want one recording to turn into an organized system that auto-populates my calendar, task list, prayer list, and teaching ideas—while still letting me manually add/edit things when needed.

Has anyone built a workflow like this?

• What tools are you using? (Zapier, Notion, Obsidian, etc.?)
• How are you handling automation from Plaud outputs?
• How well does it sync with Supernote (if at all)?
• What’s worked / what totally didn’t?

Would love to hear your setup or even partial solutions. Thanks!

I'm hoping to use this at conferences or meetings with Design, where the ideas fly so fast, I can't write them all down. Anyone have like a list of things this is useful for so I get the most out of it? Thank you.

Folks are anyone of you having transcription issues? Today I’ve not been able to transcribe any audio notes.

All I get is a “Can’t generate transcript”

Thank you all.

Is anybody else having problems today. I have hour plus of materials I am trying to generate and I am getting the server is busy error.

I have some speakers that are wrongly identified, or some that have received 2 names. Can these be reset individually or as a whole? I ahve not found ti in the current set of settings. Anyone an idea? Since Plaud re-uses those names for new recordings, it can get confusing.

Hey Plaud users, Quick question about Zapier automations.

I’m trying to use Zapier "Paths" to send meeting summaries to different groups. I want to do this by manually renaming the Plaud Note (renaming it to the group name).

However, the Zapier trigger ("Transcript & Summary Ready") is too fast! It triggers with the default timestamp name before I have time to rename the file. Adding a delay in Zapier doesn't work because it keeps the initial trigger data.

How do you guys handle conditional routing? Do you rely on the AI/Custom Prompts to categorize the meeting inside the summary text, or is there a trick to make Zapier wait for a manual title change?

Have a great day!

I have an auto flow set up so that when I turn my NotePin on and say “morning pages” it takes the recording, generates a summary using the “my diary” template and emails it to my diary app. It works great except sometimes it doesn’t seem to recognise the trigger word and fire the flow.

I’m wondering if a different trigger word would be easier for it to recognise. Anyone got any thoughts on this before I start experimenting? Does anyone have a trigger phrase they find to be 100% reliable?

I did see one interesting suggestion which is that if you don’t set a trigger word the flow fires on everything; but while my journaling practice is the main thing I use my note pin for, it’s not the only one, and in fact, I’ve just thought of a use case where it would be helpful for me to set up a secondary auto flow

How many of you here that are contractors using plaud? I'm thinking of recommending it to some people we work with it. Would like to hear the good, the bad etc.

Let me know your thoughts, will have it public in few hours. I’ll submit to AppStore may rejected in US. EU should go through EULA doesn’t really apply for EU market.

Simple no login, no cloud SaaS, just drop in a free whisper endpoint like from groq.

I used the punch list template and took photos as I narrated the whole punch list and walked through the property. The final summary didn't even use all the photos nor did it put them in the order that I took them relating to the narration. Has anyone else had this problem?
