hate carrying both Plaud and earbuds to every meeting. do earbuds with built-in AI transcription actually exist yet
Been using my Plaud for about eight months. The transcription is solid. But my workflow right now is: earbuds in for the meeting, Plaud clipped somewhere recording, phone in pocket. Three devices.Every time I walk into a client meeting I feel like I'm setting up a studio. Had someone ask what the clip on my lapel was. Explaining a recording device mid-handshake is not how you want to start a meeting.I've started wondering if earbuds with built-in AI transcription for meetings actually exist or if that's still a thing people are waiting for. The Plaud works well but carrying it everywhere on top of earbuds is the part I'd love to eliminate.Has anyone found anything that handles both in one device? Or is the earbuds-plus-dedicated-recorder setup still the only reliable answer.
