As a review I appreciate the workflow perspective, but you should of mentioned that the built in transcription service is subscription based, it is not free, limited to 600 minutes per month.
Thanks for the review! I think it’s also worth mentioning that the phone call recording is using the back of the phone’s vibrations during the call and therefore will not record calls while using a headset like AirPods for example.
Ive just got it. I think it’s going to be amazing for my job. Sometimes i need to chair a meeting/ interview and take notes and then write them up, this is going to be soooo helpful. I think its should be aimed at personal assistants, exec assistants and secretaries as it will make their jobs so much easier, rather than being thought of as useful for content creators etc. cant believe i only just heard about it.
I think they've updated the software for the first limitation. You can set what type of "note" you're transcribing and it helps to how it organizes the transcription.
Just purchased the plaud for class lectures. I love the notes taking and summary features. I'm disappointed with the recordings for my class lectures. I'm in a small classroom max 43 people and the recordings are not good 😢
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?
@@NickKendallThat is fairly clear. But what kind of subscription is what I ask in my question. Can you kindly look at questions and let me know specific answers if you can

Is it possible to transcribe and summarize a meeting in real-time while also recording it? Can it capture any language well and provide real-time transcription and summary in another language?
Hi Nick - the review was helpful. I have also noticed the limitations of the summary provided by the app. I didn't see the link to the pdf where you note the prompt you use to load the entire transcript into ChatGPT - could you please provide the prompt. Thanks!
Hey Nick - I have asked Plaud but no reply yet. Is the device able to work in any language OTHER than English ? Does it have translation capability ? Nice unbiased review BTW
Follow up with Plaud but I believe it has pretty limited multi language support for now. I haven't tested translating into other languages (as sadly I wouldn't be able to read them), but I've heard it's not that accurate.
Hmm. I like it in a "oooo nice gadget" way, but do I $250 like it when my phone can pretty swiftly achieve about 90% (the other 10% being call recording) of its capability?
Yeah I can totally understand that! I think it has a lot of potential as a simple solution if they continue to improve the app with custom prompts and integrations with other apps.
Thanks for video mate ! I received my Plaud yesterday; it is a great tool! You got a one-year Plaud AI subscription, right? How fast do you go through the minutes that come with it? Cheers from Melbourne
I find it hard to believe that there is no option to just add audio files you already have recorded. I wish they would have mentioned this prior to purchasing. I'm going to be returning this.
What? A subscription is additional? Scam. I regret ordering this damn thing. It is way too limited for a subscription. Why bother. I will be returning this.

Thanks for the feedback! :)
Dam if this is the case I will stay with the pixel recorder app, it does it all for free

Nice! There's been a lot of updates since I made this video as well that have really improved it! :)
Haven’t they removed the subscription ?
I think they've updated the software for the first limitation. You can set what type of "note" you're transcribing and it helps to how it organizes the transcription.
Correct, it's improved a lot over the past 6 months!

Dang, that really sucks :/
Good to know because this is why I wanted it. It sucks, got it 👍. Thanks.

As far as I know you still need the subscription to use the transcription service.
@@NickKendallThat is fairly clear. But what kind of subscription is what I ask in my question. Can you kindly look at questions and let me know specific answers if you can
Can i use it by itself? I have to put my phone away at work, so is it okay if I just place it in my front pocket and will it record just fine?

Thorough review and analysis. Appreciate the effort you devoted to this. Highly informative content. Great work!
Glad it was helpful! :)

Unfortunately not
Don't you have to pay for a subscription on top of the price of the device?
Yeah you do.
Hi Nick - the review was helpful. I have also noticed the limitations of the summary provided by the app. I didn't see the link to the pdf where you note the prompt you use to load the entire transcript into ChatGPT - could you please provide the prompt. Thanks!
Thanks for pointing this out! I've added the link to the description!

You're welcome!
what's the best way to transcribe audiobooks?
The book.
I'm super impressed with the microphones and recording quality !
Same! And the transcription accuracy is legit the best I've ever seen!
@@NickKendallso does this device Require a phone in order to transcribe? or does it have a built-in mic?
It requires a phone and subscription to be able to transcribe (first 3 months are free and then you pay).
Hmm. I like it in a "oooo nice gadget" way, but do I $250 like it when my phone can pretty swiftly achieve about 90% (the other 10% being call recording) of its capability?

You bet!
It's funny, "Don't you hate it when you have a great idea but don't want to take your phone out." Proceeds to take his phone out to record.

Yeah so far I've found the minutes to be enough for what I need it for! How are you finding it? :)
@@NickKendall only had it for one day, so we will see on a week or two how I smash through the recording minutes….
@@JCKloppersany feedback after a month?
Is it sending private info like names through chatgpt whenever mentioned in a convo?
Yeah, as always best to keep sensitive info out of ChatGPT and this is no exception.
I find it hard to believe that there is no option to just add audio files you already have recorded. I wish they would have mentioned this prior to purchasing. I'm going to be returning this.
Thx. Is there a version 2 coming out soon?
Since this was just released recently I'm not sure there's a version 2 coming out just yet.
ok so this NEEDS a phone in order to work, correct?
Yeah, in order to transcribe your recordings you need to connect it to the app :)
Just another advert !
