At a Glance
- Plaud’s Note Pro is a $179 credit-card-sized AI recorder that’s the thinnest on the market at 0.12 inches.
- The device ships with 64 GB of onboard memory, 30 grams weight, and can record 30 hours continuously.
- Over 1 million units have shipped and 50 % of users moved to paid subscriptions.
- Why it matters: Professionals can capture high-quality audio in meetings without a phone, then transcribe and edit on the go.
In the crowded field of AI-powered voice recorders, Plaud’s newest offering stands out for its razor-thin design, generous memory, and professional-grade features that have already attracted more than a million users.
Why Plaud’s Note Pro Stands Out
The Note Pro measures just 0.12 inches thick, about the width of three stacked credit cards. It fits easily in a wallet or attaches magnetically to the back of a MagSafe-enabled phone. The 30-gram device is light enough that users feel no weight when it sits in their pocket.
- Memory: 64 GB onboard, no need to connect to a phone.
- Microphones: Four MEMS mics with an effective range of 16.4 feet.
- Processing: One voice-processing unit for noise suppression, voice isolation, and echo cancellation.
Performance & Battery Life
The Note Pro can record 30 hours continuously or stay on standby for 60 days on a single charge. A full charge takes 2 hours using the proprietary USB-C charger.

The tiny screen displays recording status and battery level, while a button and haptic feedback confirm when recording starts or stops.
Transcription & Workflow
Plaud provides 300 minutes of free transcription each month. Users can create or customize AI-generated note templates for different tasks, and the transcription is accurate in most instances. All recordings, transcripts, and notes are accessible through a web portal, and a tap on a word now plays the corresponding audio.
Key Takeaways
- Plaud’s Note Pro is the thinnest AI recorder, 0.12 inches thick.
- It offers 64 GB of memory and 30 hours of continuous recording.
- The device’s free transcription and template system make it ideal for frequent in-person meetings.
For anyone who spends hours in meetings, Plaud’s Note Pro offers a compact, high-performance solution that turns conversations into searchable, editable notes.
