“Plaud Note is a pocket-size, AI-powered voice recorder that makes capturing and transcribing speech fast and painless. Ljud & Bild praises its clear recordings, long battery life, and one-press simplicity—calling it a powerful helper for interviews, meetings, and studies.”

Credit-card form factor, travel-ready build. Plaud Note snaps to your phone via the included magnetic case (MagSafe for iPhone, adhesive ring for others) and connects over Bluetooth to the app. It’s light, discreet, and easy to carry, with thoughtful design for everyday use.

Standout features. Up to 30 hours of recording per charge; 64 GB storage (≈480 hours total); individual recordings up to 5 hours; dual MEMS mics plus a vibration conduction sensor for phone calls; and effective AI noise reduction that keeps speech intelligible in busier spaces.

Records phone calls—even on iPhone. Flip to call-recording mode to capture both sides of the conversation. For journalists and knowledge workers, that combo of in-room + call capture is a major time saver. (Always follow local recording laws.)

AI workflow that pays off. Upload to the Plaud app to get Whisper-based transcripts, auto-generated summaries, and even a mind-map view for quick overviews. The reviewer notes it’s accurate overall (especially vs. some rivals in non-English), and summaries often catch the gist even when dialects are tricky.

Trade-offs to know. Full AI transcription requires a subscription after the trial; multi-speaker diarization is missing; dialects can trip up accuracy; there’s no “Find My”-style locator if you lose the device; and it uses a magnetic charging cable rather than standard USB-C. RRP at test time: ~1 800 kr.

Bottom line: a cleverly designed AI voice recorder that meaningfully reduces the grind of manual transcription—highly recommended if you want dependable capture, quick summaries, and a frictionless on-the-go setup.
