Plaud has revamped its compact NotePin AI recorder with a button, while also launching a new desktop app for recording audio in online meetings.
For Plaud hardware owners, the new NotePin S comes free of charge and boasts a design nearly identical to the original, save for one major difference: a button. Unlike the original NotePin, which relied on haptic controls – requiring users to squeeze it just right to start recording – the NotePin S has a long-pressable button that starts recording, with short taps adding highlight markers.
This upgrade is aimed at improving ease of use, with Plaud CEO acknowledging that some users had struggled with squeezing the original NotePin too hard. The new design aims to eliminate any confusion over whether recording had been successfully started.
In addition to the updated hardware, Plaud has also launched a free desktop app for Windows and Mac, called Plaud Desktop. This application allows for the automatic or manual recording of audio from online meetings, supported by apps like Zoom, Meet, and Teams, with both system audio and microphone inputs being recorded. Unlike some other alternatives, it does not create a bot that joins calls.
Recordings and notes are synced up with those generated from Plaud's line of hardware recorders, providing users with a "seamless" library of audio from their meetings, whether online or offline. The new app is available now for free to anyone who already owns a Plaud device – the same price applies to the NotePin S.
The updated product marks a significant shift in how users can interact with and manage meeting notes through this innovative platform.

. i mean, who doesn't love the idea of just pressing a button instead of squeezing a tiny device 
. and yay for automatic syncing with their hardware recorders - that's a game changer for keeping all our meeting notes organized 
. but, can we talk about how long it took them to make this change? like, i've been using plaud devices for years and it's crazy they didn't think of this sooner 
. still, i'm glad they listened to feedback from users and made the switch - now let's just hope their new desktop app is as smooth and seamless as they claim 
, i mean who likes having to squeeze a tiny button just right to start recording? its kinda crazy! but now we have a long-pressable button that starts recording and short taps add highlight markers... that sounds way easier 
. and its also cool that they launched this new desktop app for Windows and Mac, it makes it super easy to record audio from online meetings 
. i think its great that recordings and notes are synced up with the hardware devices, so we can access all our meeting audio and notes from both online and offline 
the new long-pressable button is such a game changer 
I mean, who wants to struggle with squeezing it just right to start recording? It's all about user experience, right? The new button design is a big improvement - easy to use and no more wondering if you actually started the recording. I'm also excited about the desktop app launch, this makes online meetings so much easier to manage. Being able to record audio automatically or manually without having to create a bot that joins calls is a game changer 
.
. I mean, who has the patience for squeezing a tiny device just right? Not me, that's for sure 
. This new button is like, super intuitive – just press and hold, voilà! Recording starts! 
.
. I mean, having everything in one place, synced up and ready to go? It's like, totally dream come true! Okay, okay, I know it's still tech-y and all, but trust me, I'm hyped about Plaud's NotePin S 
.
they just dropped a new desktop app 4 online meetin recordin & its AMAZING!!! 
no more havin 2 create bots 2 join calls lol what a game changer! 
, I just got my hands on the new NotePin S and honestly, it's been a bit of an adjustment 
. But hey, I guess it's better than squeezing the original one too hard 
. The desktop app sounds like a game changer though 
, I can already imagine how seamless my meeting notes are gonna be with all my recordings synced up...this is a game-changer for productivity and organization, Interesting 
! I mean, think about it, sometimes you're just trying to quickly jot down some notes or record a few seconds of audio during an online meeting, and fiddling with haptic controls can be a real pain in the neck 
... now we can all easily record our online meetings and sync them up with our existing hardware
