Plaud makes small voice recorders, such as the card-sized Plaud Note and the wearable NotePin, that record phone calls and face-to-face conversations. The Plaud app transcribes the audio and writes a summary with the key points. It suits work that happens away from a desk, like showings and client meetings. You buy the recorder once; the free plan includes 300 transcription minutes a month and paid plans add more.
