Plaud Note Pro has been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 – one of the world’s most prestigious design awards. The award highlights the product’s combination of design, functionality, and the way AI is integrated into a tool for professional documentation.

This is the second time PLAUD has been recognized by the iF Design Foundation. The previous model, Plaud Note, also received an award, further strengthening the company’s position in AI-based productivity tools. The iF DESIGN AWARD has been presented for more than 70 years, and this year’s edition was judged by 129 international design experts. Plaud Note Pro is being recognized in particular for its user-centered design, the integration of hardware and AI, and its ability to simplify everyday documentation.

Plaud Note Pro is designed for professionals who need more than traditional audio recording. The device captures conversations, analyzes content, and turns it into structured notes and insights. With four MEMS microphones, an intelligent recording mode, and the Press to Highlight feature, key moments can be marked in real time for more accurate summaries.

The design combines a slim form factor with materials such as aluminum alloy and Gorilla Glass, along with an AMOLED display for a quick overview. The result is a discreet yet powerful device tailored to modern workflows.
