As a writer for Saiga NAK, I write all the time, and a voice recorder is my best friend during interviews and presentations. It depends on the situation, but sometimes it can be a long interview, and you don't want to miss a single word to make sure you get your message across. However, even if you want to find what was said in the recorded voice recorder, it may be difficult to find it, or you may have to replay the transcription several times to catch every word, which can be time-consuming. Now, there is a new solution for writers that solves such problems! We will review the portable, wearable AI memory capsule " PLAUD NotePin " released by Nicebuild LLC, a high-performance AI voice recorder manufacturer!
Let's start with the opening ceremony.
Now, let's unpack the PLAUD NotePin!
The "PLAUD NotePin Bundle" includes the PLAUD NotePin and an accessory kit. The outer box is sleek and not too tall, so it is not bulky. The name of the product is embossed on the package, which gives it a luxurious feel in combination with the matte packaging!
The accessories are as follows
- NotePin device
- Magnetic pin
- Clip
- Neck strap
- Wristband
- Charger
- USB-C charging cable
- Quick start guide
Upon opening the package, we found various accessories and an instruction manual! The four included accessories can be used in a variety of ways.
Holding the actual NotePin in my hand, I found it to be round and cute!
The charging port is Type-C, which is very convenient.
Various ways to attach the NotePin
The magnet can be attached to the back of your clothes, so it is hard to damage even your precious clothes, and you can attach it anywhere you like.
Attach it to a neck strap and it can be used as a necklace.
It can also be worn as a wristband if you want to wear it on your arm!
It can also be changed to a clip type, and can be worn in various ways depending on the situation.
Interestingly, the wristwatch belt is also magnetically designed! At first I was shocked because I was not used to it, but once I got used to it, it was easy to put it on!
It is very easy to use! Just press the middle!
Now let's start "PLAUD NotePin"! It is very easy to use! Yes, that's right. There is only one button, and all you have to do is press and hold it when you want to record. When recording starts, the lamp glows red.
This time, I loaded a scene from the iPhone's built-in "Voice Recorder" application into "PLAUD NotePin". First, download the QR code for the dedicated PLAUD NotePin app, which is included with the manual.
Simply select the file you want "PLAUD NotePin" to analyze for AI
Select the + button and press the "Import Audio" button.
This is where the real work begins! How accurate is the transcription?
First of all, the transcription also shows the time, so it is good to know which part of the recording I want to listen back to. It' s like an AI training game.
And, to my surprise, even when it was difficult to hear the voice in a crowded room, it transcribed it correctly. There are a few typos, but almost no omissions.
The multifunctionality of this game is too good to be true, and it looks cute. Because even Japanese people have difficulty with Japanese that has many homonyms.
In addition to summarizing, it also scolds me!
The app automatically "summarizes" the audio file or voice file you load. Although you are the one who writes the summary, you can check the minutes of interviews, meetings, and presentations visually as well as from the audio, and it would be nice to have the summary so that there are no mistakes.
Scrolling down, the interviewer made suggestions for the overall content of the interview. Guh, I'll keep that in mind....
"PLAUD NotePin" has given me a secret pleasure to see how they propose to explain a major company.
And a mind map to visualize the whole thing in an easy-to-understand way
In addition to summarizing information, "PLAUD NotePin" can also create mind maps. The amount of information actually gathered is neatly summarized, making it very easy to compose an article.
I recommend "PLAUD NotePin" to a wide range of people!
PLAUD NotePin" really reads the text without any omissions, and even if there are some typos, we can correct them to make it learnable. PLAUD NotePin" also gives me advice, so I feel like we are mutually improving each other, and the "cold image of a machine" has changed to "a partner who works hard together. I am sure that we will be partners in the future!
In addition to writers like us, video editors, office workers with many meetings, etc., let's increase our personal time by doing our work efficiently! Why don't you choose "PLAUD NotePin" as your partner?
PLAUD NotePin" is scheduled for official release in early December 2024! The retail price is 28,600 yen (tax included), and pre-orders are available from October 23, 2024 (Wednesday).
