Sitting through long meetings, lectures, or brainstorming sessions can be quite a chore. And the rushed, scribbled notes you’ve taken are likely not only disorganized, but also probably missing important information as you struggle to keep up. If that sounds like a daily occurrence at work or in school, the PLAUD Note Pro, Note, and NotePin are made for you.
These sleek and compact devices are all about portability. The PLAUD Note and Note Pro are ultra-thin credit card-sized gadgets that you can comfortably carry around in your pocket or in a card slot in your phone case. Meanwhile, the PLAUD NotePin is no different than a compact wireless mic, which you can easily clip to your collar, attach to a lanyard, or even carry on your wrist with a wristband, making it an ideal travel companion.
You can use these voice recorders to capture everything from meetings and interviews to lectures and your own voice memos. You can even use the Note and the Note Pro to record phone calls by attaching the devices to the back of your phone using a magnetic card case. And that’s when PLAUD Intelligence, through the PLAUD app, takes over.

The PLAUD Note and NotePin are extremely capable AI-powered voice recorders. But if you want to take things even further, you need the PLAUD Note Pro. It comes with improved mics for enhanced audio capture and a 1-inch AMOLED display, allowing you to view key information at a glance.
