Portable Note-Taking Recorder Uses ChatGPT To Create Mind-Maps Of Your Audio

Transcribing audio can be a cumbersome task due to several reasons. Firstly, it requires extensive time and effort to listen attentively to the recordings and accurately take down every spoken word. Additionally, background noise, accents, and unclear speech can further complicate the process, leading to potential errors and the need for repeated playback. So what if you could have an AI assistant with you doing all the legwork?

iZyrec’s Plaud Note does just that by putting a ChatGPT assistant in your pocket with its portable phone and audio. This compact device, measuring 3.4 by 2.1 by 0.12 inches, conveniently attaches to the back of your iPhone (it is also MagSafe-compatible) or Android device.

What makes it truly unique is its utilization of OpenAI’s Whisper feature, offering voice-to-text transcription capabilities. Plaud Note can generate automated summaries of recordings, meeting notes, to-do lists, and even mind maps with just a simple push of a button. However, access to these AI features requires a monthly subscription of US$9.99.

If you need to record calls, Plaud Note has you covered. It utilizes a Vibration Conduction Sensor (VCS) to capture the voices of everyone on the line, eliminating the need to connect any additional devices to your phone. It’s worth noting that recording calls may be illegal in certain states.

You can toggle the VCS off for real-life instances and rely on the device’s air conduction sensor for crystal-clear audio capture. Plaud Note boasts an impressive 30-hour continuous recording capability and 64 GB of memory, providing storage for up to 480 hours of data.

Equipped with two Knowles SiSonic microphones, this device ensures high-quality audio with DVD-level sound up to 1,536 kbps. The SVE Call Solution also effectively filters out ambient noise.

The Plaud Note is now available for reservation on Kickstarter at a price of US$99.
