Plaud NotePin S

Plaud NotePin S is a wearable AI note taker built for professionals who need to stay present while capturing what matters. Lightweight and hands-free, you can wear it four different ways using the included accessories: clip, magnetic pin, wristband, and lanyard. Start recording with a single long press to capture walk-and-talks, hallway conversations, and spontaneous brainstorms without pulling out your phone. With clear audio capture up to 3 meters, Plaud NotePin S turns real-world conversations into organized summaries, key takeaways, and actionable next steps.

The main difference between Plaud NotePin S and Plaud Note Pro is their form factor and primary use case as AI note takers.

Core difference
Plaud NotePin S is a wearable AI note taker designed for hands-free capture of in-person conversations, while Plaud Note Pro is a credit-card-sized AI note taker designed for phone calls and meetings, either attached to your phone or placed on a table.

• Plaud NotePin S: Wearable AI note taker for on-the-go conversations
  Plaud NotePin S is built for professionals who need to capture conversations while moving. It is ideal for walk-and-talks, lectures, clinical consultations, and spontaneous discussions where using a phone would interrupt the flow. Its wearable design allows hands-free recording, and the Press to Highlight feature lets users mark important moments in real time for clearer AI summaries.
• Plaud Note Pro: AI note taker for meetings and calls
  Plaud Note Pro is designed for structured discussions such as in-person meetings and phone calls. It captures clear audio from up to 5 meters away with AI beamforming and supports smart dual-mode recording. The InstantView Display provides at-a-glance device status, and Press to Highlight helps users tag key decisions and action items during conversations.
• Which one should you choose?

Choose Plaud NotePin S if you want maximum mobility and hands-free recording for real-world conversations.

Choose Plaud Note Pro if your work focuses on meetings and phone calls where higher audio performance and visible device status matter.

Bottom line
Both devices are AI note takers, but Plaud NotePin S is optimized for wearability and capture in motion, while Plaud Note Pro is optimized for meetings, calls, and professional environments.

Yes. Plaud NotePin S is optimized for wearable, hands-free recording with dual high-fidelity microphones and AI-enhanced speech processing, delivering clearer and more usable voice capture in real-world conversations than traditional dictation devices.

• Hardware-first clarity
  Dual MEMS microphones capture clear, focused audio from up to 3 meters, enabling effective recording in meetings, interviews, and multi-speaker conversations.
• Optimized for wearable use
  Unlike traditional dictation devices designed for close-mouth use, Plaud NotePin S is acoustically tuned for chest-level, wearable recording, maintaining clarity while keeping your hands free.
• Reliable transcription support
  Recordings are processed with advanced AI that supports 112 languages, speaker labels, and automatic language detection, ensuring consistent results across diverse real-world scenarios.
• Built for the real world
  Plaud NotePin S is built for dynamic environments such as field meetings, client walk-and-talks, and impromptu discussions, where traditional dictation devices often struggle.

The biggest difference between Plaud NotePin S and using your phone to record is friction. A phone is a multitasking device that requires active setup and screen interaction, while Plaud NotePin S is a dedicated, wearable AI note taker built for hands-free, always-ready capture.

• Active friction vs. passive capture
  Phone recording usually requires unlocking your screen, opening an app, and managing notifications or interruptions. Plaud NotePin S starts recording from the device and captures conversations in the background with minimal interaction.
• More natural in-person conversations
  A phone placed on a table can feel like a “recording device” and can pull attention toward the screen. Plaud NotePin S is worn, so you can maintain eye contact and stay engaged while it records.
• More reliable than a phone
  Phone recordings can be interrupted by incoming calls, app issues, or low battery. Plaud NotePin S is built specifically for recording, with dedicated hardware and its own battery, so it is more dependable for long conversations.
• Hands-free control with Highlight
  When something important is said, you can use Press to Highlight to mark key moments instantly. This helps the AI prioritize those points in summaries and key takeaways without needing to touch your phone.
• Purpose-built workflow, not just audio
  A phone can capture audio, but Plaud NotePin S is designed to turn conversations into structured outputs, such as summaries, key points, and next steps, so recordings become usable information.

Plaud is built with privacy at its core. We’re fully compliant with ISO 27001, ISO 27701, GDPR, SOC II, HIPAA, and EN18031 standards, and all data is protected with industry-leading encryption during transfer and storage.

The Plaud NotePin S doesn't have a V.C.S. (Vibration Conduction Sensor), so it doesn't support phone call recording.

To reset your Plaud NotePin S, please charge the Plaud NotePin S and long-press the record button for 12 seconds.

The sensitivity of a pacemaker to magnetic fields depends on both the strength of the magnetic field and the rate of change. Generally, magnetic fields ranging from a few gauss to several thousand gauss can potentially interfere with pacemakers. Our magnetic pin and clip generate magnetic fields up to 2100 gauss. For users with pacemakers, we advise against wearing the Plaud NotePin S on the chest area (whether with the lanyard, magnetic pin, or clip) due to its magnetic properties.

The Serial Number is a unique identifier that is utilized to identify and distinguish devices. It is commonly used for product management, device maintenance, and warranty services. If you're searching for the Serial Number (SN) of your Plaud NotePin S, there are several locations to check:

1. Inspect the box that the Plaud NotePin S arrived in. The SN is imprinted on a label.

2. Open the Plaud App and enter the device settings page. The SN is displayed on this page.

3. You can also find it on the back of the Plaud NotePin S.
