Launched in 2024, Plaud is an AI device designed for professionals to seamlessly transcribe conversations hands-free.
Plaud leverages speech recognition technology to capture spoken words and format it into text. The product is aimed at busy professionals in journalism, law, medicine and corporate environments who need to capture a lot of information seamlessly and quickly.
The product is available globally but focused on markets that are tech-savvy and productivity driven, particularly the US, Europe and Japan.
The need for a versatile and convenient transcription tool arose from the increasing demand for real-time note-taking that captures content in a less invasive way that is also hands free. Plaud is compact and versatile as it can be worn as a necklace, pin or earpiece. The device improves productivity with accurate transcriptions compared to manual writing or typing, which often doesn’t capture granular detail and requires split focus. It helps optimise cognitive load and time management so professionals can be fully present and have something to confer to at a later time.
