very good product, does what it says. Check the hours it gives you for free because it may not suit your needs for the reason you want it.

The PLAUDE is a good device for recording speeches AND phone calls. That is, a recorder + AI transcription services. The placement is done with a magnet (I recommend purchasing a stronger magnet). The recording quality is excellent, even in moderately noisy environments, thanks to the vibration sensor. Additionally, the ability to export files to MP3 is particularly practical.

Regarding the AI services, transcription with WHISPER works flawlessly when the speakers talk clearly and without many interruptions. Furthermore, CHATGPT produces excellent summaries and notes that facilitate work, especially for professionals or students.

The subscription service is fair. The first 300 minutes/month free are more than enough for basic use, while €7.5 for 1200 minutes offers excellent value. It is important to note that to set up a similar solution locally, you would need a state-of-the-art PC, which costs multiples as well as a lot of time and significant familiarity with computers.

Pros:
Excellent sound quality.
Accurate transcriptions and summaries.
Affordable and practical subscription.
Easy installation and use.

Cons:
The magnet could be stronger.
It depends on the clarity of speech for perfect transcription.

Conclusion:
The PLAUDE is ideal for those who want a reliable and affordable solution for recording and transcribing speeches without investing in expensive equipment or software. With a few improvements, it would be flawless.

Amazing product, it delivers what it promises, in English it works better but it also does a good job in Greek!
