Plaud公司推出了其信用卡大小的AI录音设备Plaud Note Pro的升级版本。新款设备在继承前代Plaud Note记录、转写和总结对话功能的基础上，增加了两个麦克风，拾音范围达16.4英尺，并配备1英寸显示屏，可显示电量、录音状态和模式。Plaud Note Pro能自动切换通话和会议录音模式，省去了物理拨杆。新增的“耐力”模式可将录音时间从30小时延长至50小时，但拾音范围会缩小至9.8英尺。用户可通过Plaud应用查看AI生成的录音、转写和总结，并可通过“按键高亮”功能标记重要信息，以便AI生成更详细的摘要。Plaud应用即将更新，支持文本输入和图片上传，并新增“Ask Plaud”功能。

Plaud, the company behind an AI wearable that actually works, is launching an upgraded version of its credit card-sized note-taking device. Just like its Plaud Note predecessor, the Plaud Note Pro uses AI to record, transcribe, and summarize your conversations, but it now comes with two additional microphones that allow it to pick up audio within a 16.4-foot area, along with a 1-inch display that shows battery level, recording status, and the current recording mode.

The Plaud Note Pro automatically switches between recording calls and in-person meetings, eliminating the need for the physical toggle on the original Plaud Note released in 2023. There’s also a new “endurance” battery mode that extends the Plaud Note Pro’s 30 hours of recording to 50 hours, in exchange for a lower 9.8-foot audio pickup range that comes with the base Note. You can view the AI-generated recordings, transcriptions, and summaries in the accompanying Plaud app.

The Plaud Note Pro comes with a button that you can use for a “press-to-highlight” feature as well, which lets you flag important information that you’re hearing. The large language models used by Plaud, including OpenAI’s GPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and Google’s Gemini, can then generate more detailed summaries for these key points from the Plaud app. Plaud spokesperson Alice Gordon-Purdy notes that highlighting isn’t exclusive to the Note Pro, as base Note users can still “highlight” details through the Plaud app or iOS widget.

Plaud is also updating its app in October, which will soon allow Plaud Note and Note Pro users to input text and upload images from their phones. It also comes with a new “Ask Plaud” feature that lets you ask questions about the information you’ve recorded or uploaded. As is the case with the first-gen Plaud Note, the Note Pro is MagSafe-compatible, letting you stick it to the back of your phone with a magnetic case.

The Plaud Note Pro costs $179 and is available for preorder now before it starts shipping in October. It comes with up to 300 transcription minutes per month by default, but you can upgrade to a $99.99 / year subscription for 1,200 minutes and priority access to new features, or a $239.99 / year plan for unlimited transcription minutes.
