Forget the recorder to take notes. Forget the long sessions to pay the interviews, the notes on the sheets or the notes on the smartphone to be in a hurry while participating in a meeting or a video called. Plaud Note Propresented at IFA 2025 in Berlin, brings the technology of micro-regulators into a new dimension thanks to the integration of artificial intelligence.
As small as a credit card, capable of hooking magnetically to the smartphone, it becomes a tool Designed for those who work with meetings, interviews and presentationsin short, with those who have to do with many words. His task? Record, transcribe, create summaries And to do, on balance, as a personal assistant.
The real turning point, in fact, is Ask Plauda digital assistant to whom We can ask direct questions relating to the recorded content. There is no longer any more listening to hours of conversations: just ask a written question and the IA identifies the desired passage instantly, distinguishing the different interlocutors and creating automatic synthesis. A support that affects not only journalists, but also managers, commercial and students, all united by the need to have an orderly and available archive of what is said during a meeting, a lesson, a presentation.
Interesting addition, not present on previous models, is JUMIMAL INTEGRATION that allows you to Add photos and texts during a registrationthus enriching the context of the final summary given that the IA will use these elements added by us, such as the photo taken to a slide of a presentation, to build a more precise context.
Looking at the technical data sheet, the new Pro version integral Four microphones capable of capturing voices up to five meters awayagainst the two on the basic model. The recording mode is automatic and recognizes if it is a phone call or environmental audio, without requesting manual interventions. The AMOLED display and Dual Band Wi-Fi connectivity to 2.4 and 5 GHz complete the equipment, together with a 500 mAh battery that promises 50 hours of continuous recording or 75 days in standby. The internal memory is 64 GB, sufficient to store tens of hours of audio and with the possibility of using the cloud to share recordings and transcriptions.
Next to the Pro remain in the list, the known versions and notes, both cheaper and more compact but less sophisticated. The standard notes with two microphones and 30 hours of autonomy, while the notipin focuses on portability with a reduced weight to only 23 grams.
