Plaud Unveils AI-Driven NotePin S and Desktop Notetaking App Ahead of CES 2023
In a significant move ahead of the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, hardware innovator Plaud has introduced the Plaud NotePin S, a cutting-edge AI-driven notetaker, along with a complementary desktop application designed to streamline note-taking for digital meetings. This latest iteration builds upon Plaud’s successful entry into the market with its original pin-style notetaker, which gained positive recognition in 2024.
The Plaud NotePin S features a user-friendly physical button that allows for seamless recording management. Users can initiate and pause recordings easily, and highlight key moments during discussions—capabilities also found in the recently launched Plaud Note Pro.
Key features of the $179 Plaud NotePin S include:
– A versatile package containing a clip, lanyard, magnetic pin, and wristband for various carrying options.
– Integration with Apple Find My, ensuring easy retrieval if misplaced.
– Consistent specifications from its predecessor, boasting 64GB of storage and a remarkable 20-hour battery life for uninterrupted recording.
– Dual MEMS microphones for crystal-clear audio capture within a range of 9.8 feet.
– 300 minutes of complimentary transcription monthly for enhanced usability.
While the NotePin S offers a shorter recording range and reduced battery life compared to the Note Pro, its compact design emphasizes portability, appealing to those with active lifestyles.
With over 1.5 million devices sold, this marks Plaud’s fourth product launch, emphasizing its focus on enhancing in-person meeting experiences. The company is also entering the competitive landscape of digital meeting notetakers, positioning itself against platforms like Granola, Fathom, and Fireflies with its new desktop application. This app detects active meetings across multiple platforms, facilitating effortless transcription capture.
The macOS application leverages system audio to generate notes and utilizes AI to organize transcriptions effectively. Building on last year’s multimodal capabilities, the desktop app will enable users to incorporate images and typed notes alongside audio transcriptions, enhancing overall functionality for efficient notetaking during meetings.
