Covering CES is a sprint of back-to-back briefings, so Amanda S. Bennett is ditching her notepad for Plaud’s new NotePin S.
Wearable Note-Taker
The updated pin syncs via Bluetooth to the Plaud app and starts recording with a long press. A quick tap flags important moments so key quotes surface later.
- Size: smaller than a USB stick
- Range: dual mics tested at the noisy Dreamforce show
- Price: $179 (£159) and available immediately
Desktop Companion
Also unveiled at CES, Plaud Desktop listens for meetings on a laptop-no bot invites required-and drops context-rich summaries into the same account.
| Hardware | Use-Case | Mount Option |
|---|---|---|
| NotePin S | hallway interviews | lanyard, clip, wristband, magnet |
| Plaud Desktop | home office calls | sits on computer |
Key Takeaways
- One ecosystem now archives every spoken word, live or remote
- Reporters can dress for long days without juggling recorders
- All transcripts live in a single, searchable Plaud account
