PLAUD Note: ChatGPT-Powered AI Voice Recorder -- DEMO & REVIEW

[@markking4875]

Do you know if the device separated the transcribed recording by person talking?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Yes it does, but it doesn't identify speakers. I suspect the latter is a feature that they can add down the road, however.

A great device. I enjoy using mine. Unfortunately, yesterday i recorded a 2hour and 25 minute meeting. Apparently the PLAUD note is set up for a maximum of one hour segments. It did record the entire meeting but I now have three files. How am I supposed to get a transcript, summary and mind map of the entire meeting, not just the segments? Appreciate your assistance.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

That's a great question to ask the Plaud support team, actually. If nothing else, you can merge the three transcription easily enough with some cut and paste, then just feed it to ChatGPT directly.

[@BobSussan]

Have tried, no response from support. Additionally today, I tried to print the summary, mind map and transcript..... no way to do it! Surprising!@@AskDaveTaylor

[@MLCJax]

Supply did answer and have changed the recording limit to 5 hours!@@BobSussan

Does it need to be connected to the Internet or cell phone data to transcribe?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

I believe so, since it works with a companion app on my phone.

[@traveling2media]

To record you do not need internet. At your convenience when you have internet you can transcribe and summarize.

does this work with Webex/Zoom/Virtual meetings that I wear a headset for? For example, I am on virtual meetings with a headset on to hear/talk - would this just plug into a USB drive on my laptop to hear the meeting? thanks!

[@AskDaveTaylor]

If you're on a headset, I don't think it would be able to hear your meeting. You could put it on a speaker if you wanted, then it could assist. Note that tools like Zoom have built-in AI transcription and summary tools, btw.

Can you clarify the plans for transcription? I would not use more than the free 300 mins/mo. Is that just an introductory plan and in year 2 is there a cost for that 300 min? or is the 300 just a base plan.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

I can't speak to the company's future plans, but you might ask them directly...

[@coolgravitas]

good review. 1. After the first year does one need the ChatGPT paid version or can one use it with the free one? 2. How clear is the cellphone recording can you do a demo showing both sides of a conversation? 3. If one doesnt want to take their subscription and use ones existing chatGPT account is that possible after the 1st year?

[@usherbarnoff9381]

Can the transcript be downloaded to a PC?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Yes that should be easily done.

[@loripinkerton]

@@AskDaveTaylor I am not finding a way to sync the mobile app and the desktop. Can you do a follow up training on how to use the files. Best formats to send them in as well as how you might use a mind map ?

[@GCD8]

does the data go to China?

[@donfaller7339]

And he never speaks about the subscription we have to pay after purchasing hardware

[@phlipschnodt]

This is a clever device and all, but why couldn't it just be an app? My phone has a microphone and clearly could perform the same function.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

A very obvious question and a fair one!

[@Fedgery007]

It requires a subscription!? Cool product but nope.

[@JohnBaptist777]

Because the export features are useless and just creates a flat dump of text no matter what format, the product IS NOT VIABLE DO - NOT- BUY WHAT A WASTE

[@AskDaveTaylor]

I didn't find that to be a problem. Have you reached out to customer support with this issue?
