More than a note taker

Plaud quickly synthesizes input into smart, organized, and useful formats. For client consultations, I get a thorough record of our discussion, which easily translates into a scope of work, saving me at least 15 minutes each time versus man…

The Best Tool Ever

I have used this not only in meetings that are one on one or larger in person, but with Webinars and recently my first online Retreat. The results captured every moment helping me to analyze this data in many ways. Because the transcripts a…

Game changing combo

The Plaud recorder and this app have in tandem changed the way I get my thoughts from my brain into reality. I occasionally use it for meetings and phone calls as it is mostly advertised, but the vast majority of use is completely personal.…

Not worth nearly $400

Plaud AI tells me that it cannot turn things into docs, thinks a “printable format” for a list is a wall of plain text, and will not integrate with anything, it also said it could not save our text thread to one of the folders in the app or…

Decent App, Shady Company

From the little I’ve used the app so far, it seems potentially useful (which is why I’m giving it 2 stars, rather than 1). I was actually looking forward to seeing how I could integrate it into my daily workflow. However, when I looked into…

Why mess with a good product and force update/want to go back to older version

I was absolutely loving the product and the interface. It was very intuitive and easy to use. I especially like the easy of exporting into Word format. After the recent update, the export is not nearly as easy to use and does NOT export int…

Paid plan minutes run out too fast

After a year of using the PLAUD Note, I can say the device itself is good, but the subscription model ruins the experience. I bought the hardware and pay for a subscription, yet the included transcription minutes run out very quickly. After…

Scam

After being a subscriber for a few months, my Plaud device stopped recording properly. Support replaced it with a device that never functioned right. I could never get FindMy working on my new device. I cancelled my nearly $250 per year sub…
