This innovative new service premiered with Plaud’s newest product, the NotePin S. This innovative AI-driven smart notetaker is created to make the most ambitious and exciting notetaking experience imaginable. With more than 1.5 million devices sold since its founding, the company has had tremendous success. Now, it sets its sights on making its mark in the increasingly crowdfunded and crowded space of digital notetakers. The new device is an evolution of Plaud’s past offerings, starting with their original pin-styled notetaker, released in 2024.
The NotePin S is full of advanced technology. Featuring two MEMS microphones, far-field audio capture is as clear as up to 9.8 feet. This advanced audio capture is key for users who want to record meetings and lectures without interrupting the flow of conversation. The device comes with 64GB of onboard storage for detailed note-taking. The NotePin S offers long-lasting battery capacity which enables 20 hours of continuous recording. Users can depend on it for all-day productivity!
In a review a few weeks ago, Brian Heater described the NotePin S as “remarkably conceived” giving props to its design and functionality. Included with the device is a belt clip, lanyard, magnetic pin and wrist band. These accessories ensure proper portability and help to overall improve ease of use. At a price point of $179, Plaud is hoping to appeal to both the casual user and the professional who is searching for an effective notetaking solution.
Beyond the hardware, Plaud is expanding its software offerings. The company’s bringing new multimodal notetaking inputs to its app. This powerful new feature enables users to easily combine multiple methods of data entry. In addition, Plaud’s desktop app will make note-taking easier during digital meetings—working on any meeting platform. Providing smart meeting assistance. This important initiative strengthens Plaud’s competitive edge against other established meeting notetakers including Granola, Fathom and Fireflies.
In addition to empowering its users, Plaud makes sure to empower its user base with 300 minutes of transcription for free each month. This new feature allows them to quickly and easily transcribe speech to text. It makes a huge difference in the usability experience on the NotePin S.
