A Closer Look
Final Thoughts
The Note Pro measures a credit-card-sized 85.6 x 54.1 x 2.99mm and weighs just 30g, with a ribbed textured body available in Black or Silver. There’s a top-mounted InstantView Display for at-a-glance status, and it pairs with Apple’s Find My app, so you’ll always know where it’s got to.
The Note Pro is small and light enough that you’ll forget it’s in your pocket, yet it still manages to pick up voices clearly from right across a boardroom table.
When fully charged (charging takes around 2 hours), the device gives you up to 30 hours of recording in Enhance mode, or up to 50 hours if you switch to Endurance mode. Standby lasts up to 60 days, so it’s ready whenever you need it. There’s 64GB of onboard storage, so you’re not going to run out of space any time soon.
Pairing the Note Pro is really simple using BLE 5.4 or Wi-Fi, and dual-mode recording automatically detects whether you’re on a phone call or sat in a meeting, switching between the two without you having to think about it.
Transcription is available in 112 languages, with speaker labels so you always know who said what, and custom vocabulary tuned to your industry means fewer mistakes with technical or specialist terms. The AI summaries are really useful too, with over 10,000 templates to choose from and the option to generate multiple summaries from the same recording depending on what you actually need from it.
Ask Plaud is a nice touch, letting you question a recording and get answers that are traceable back to the original audio, so you’re not just trusting the AI blindly.
Don’t worry if you misplace it either, as the Note Pro works with Apple’s Find My app so you can track it down.
You can also use the Plaud App to manage your recordings, build custom summary templates and search across every file you’ve ever captured – definitely worth exploring, as it can really tailor the experience to how you work.
Every Note Pro comes with a free Starter Plan (300 transcription minutes a month), and you can upgrade to the Pro or Unlimited plans if you need more.
The Plaud Note Pro is available now priced at £169.00 and comes in either Black or Silver, complete with a free magnetic case, magnetic ring and charging cable.
