As a Saiga NAK writer, I'm constantly writing, and my voice recorder is a strong ally during interviews and press conferences.
Depending on the situation, they can be long, and I don't want to miss a single word to make sure I convey everything accurately.
But when I want to find what was said back then from the recorded voice notes, it can be hard to find, and transcription can be time-consuming because I have to replay the audio many times to catch every word.
Now, a powerful new ally for writers has appeared to solve this problem!
I will be reviewing the portable, wearable AI memory capsule "PLAUD NotePin" announced by high-performance AI voice recorder manufacturer "Nicebuild LLC"!
First, the unboxing ceremony
Now, let's unbox the "PLAUD NotePin"!
The "PLAUD NotePin Bundle" comes with the PLAUD NotePin body and an accessory kit.
The outer box is thin and sleek, so it's not bulky.
The product name is also embossed, which, along with the matte packaging, gives it a high-end feel!
The accessories are as follows:
- NotePin device
- Magnetic pin
- Clip
- Neck strap
- Wristband
- Charger
- USB-C charging cable
- Quick start guide
When I opened it, I found the various accessories and the manual!
The 4 included accessories allow for various uses.
When I held the actual NotePin, it was round and cute!
The charging is Type-C, which is very convenient.
Different ways to wear it
You can attach it to your clothes from the inside with a magnet, so it won't easily damage your important clothes, and you can put it wherever you like.
You can attach it to the neck strap to wear it as a necklace or...
Citation source listedIf you want to wear it on your arm, you can also wear it as a wristband!
You can also change it to a clip-on style, so you can wear it in various ways depending on the situation.
What's interesting is that the watch band is also designed with magnets!
At first, it was a shock because I wasn't used to it, but I got used to it and it became easy to put on!
Usage is very easy! Just press the center!
Now I will activate the "PLAUD NotePin"!
Usage is very easy!
Yes, that's right. There is only one button, and you just long-press it when you want to record.
When recording begins, a lamp lights up in red.
This time, I had the "PLAUD NotePin" read a scene from the "Voice Recorder" app that comes with the iPhone.
First, I downloaded the dedicated Plaud NotePin app using the QR code included with the manual.
Just choose the file you want the "PLAUD NotePin" to analyze with AI
When I selected the + button and pressed the "Import Audio" button, the steps to share the file from "the device you want to import from" to the "PLAUD NotePin" were explained in an easy-to-understand way, so I was able to load it without any difficulty.
Now for the main event! How accurate is the transcription?
First, the transcription also shows the time, which is great because you can see which second the part you want to listen to again is located.
If there are any mistakes after listening back, you can correct typos from the Editt feature. It's like an AI training game.
And amazingly, it even transcribed parts where the audio was hard to hear in a crowd.
There were some typos, but almost no omitted words.
Its features are so excellent that I find it endearing.
After all, even for Japanese people, the Japanese language with its many homonyms is difficult.
It not only summarizes but also scolds me!
It automatically summarizes the loaded audio files and audio.
The writing is done by me, but I can check meeting minutes from interviews, conferences, and press conferences not only from the audio but also visually, and having them summarized seems to prevent me from missing anything important.
When I scrolled down, it gave suggestions for the overall content of the interview article.
UGH, I will take it to heart...
I am secretly looking forward to seeing what suggestions the "PLAUD NotePin" will give for a company's business description.
Also includes a mind map to visualize the whole thing in an easy-to-understand way
In addition to the feature that summarizes the audio, "PLAUD NotePin" also creates mind maps.
It neatly organized the large amount of information, which made it very easy to think about the article's structure.
"PLAUD NotePin" is recommended for a wide range of people!
The "PLAUD NotePin" really does read without omitting words, and even if there are some typos, you can make corrections and have it learn from them.
It also gives me advice, so my feeling toward it has changed from the cold image of a machine to a partner who works hard with me.
It will definitely be my partner from now on!
In addition to writers like me, I encourage video editors, businesspeople who have many meetings, and others to increase their personal time by working more efficiently!
Why not choose the "PLAUD NotePin" as your partner, too?
