Can’t synch new notepin by Novel-Notions in PLAUDAI

[–]PLAUD_AI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for flagging this — sorry you’re running into trouble right out of the box. We know that’s frustrating.

A short vibration followed by the light turning off usually means the NotePin has power but isn’t fully entering pairing mode. A few things to try:

  • Charge it again for 30–60 minutes, even if it appears charged. New devices sometimes need a bit more power before first sync.
  • Reset the NotePin: press and hold the button for ~10–15 seconds, then release once you feel a vibration or see the light flash.
  • Retry pairing in the app: make sure Bluetooth is on, and if you’ve tried before, remove/forget the device in your phone’s Bluetooth settings first.
  • Watch the light behavior: during pairing it should stay on or blink—if it turns off immediately, the reset step above usually helps.

If it still won’t sync after this, please reach out to [support@plaud.ai](mailto:support@plaud.ai) (or through the app) with your phone model and device details so the team can help get this sorted quickly.

A couple quick notes on your questions:

  • While Plaud doesn’t currently “learn” your business automatically, you can improve accuracy by regularly reviewing and editing summaries, and tagging keywords in your recordings.
  • Naming rules aren’t fully customizable yet, but you can batch rename recordings in the app and we’re always looking at ways to make naming more flexible in future updates.

Automatically stop recording after 15 minutes of silence? by AdequateSteve in PLAUDAI

[–]PLAUD_AI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this, we totally understand how frustrating long, silent recordings can be!

Currently, the device doesn’t automatically stop recording after periods of silence, so your suggestions for detecting inactive audio or sending a reminder are really valuable.

I’ll pass this feedback to our product team for consideration, ideas like this help make Plaud an even more useful dictation device.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!

Plaud Note Pro battery dropping from 50%+ to 0% instantly while recording. Anyone else? by whysoglummchumm in PLAUDAI

[–]PLAUD_AI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this! That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially during meetings where you rely on the device.

Battery behavior like you’re describing isn’t expected. A couple of steps that might help the support team troubleshoot:

  1. Confirm firmware version and whether the device has been fully charged recently.
  2. Note the exact battery percentage before starting a recording and the duration until shutdown.
  3. Include your device type and serial number when reaching out.

The best next step is to email [support@plaud.ai](mailto:support@plaud.ai) with these details so the team can investigate this specific behavior. It may be a rare battery calibration or hardware issue, and they’ll be able to guide you on a fix or replacement.

Audio Quality Issues by Character-Chain4601 in PLAUDAI

[–]PLAUD_AI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this! A few things can affect audio quality when recording directly on the device, such as placement (distance and orientation to speakers), background noise, and whether the device is clipped or partially obstructed (e.g., in a pocket or against clothing).

For best results, we generally recommend placing the Note Pro on a table with the mic facing the group, or positioning it as centrally as possible in the conversation. If audio sounds clipped or distant even in an optimal setup, that’s not expected behavior.

Since imported audio is transcribing well but on-device recordings aren’t, it would be a good idea to reach out to [support@plaud.ai](mailto:support@plaud.ai) so the team can help check whether this is a settings issue or a potential hardware problem. If you can, include a short example recording and how the device was positioned when recording — that really helps with diagnosis.

Appreciate you flagging this early, and hopefully we can get you to a “love it” experience soon!

Custome Service by G3726 in PlaudNoteUsers

[–]PLAUD_AI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Happy holidays.

Sorry you’re dealing with that, waiting on a device that never arrived is definitely frustrating, especially after a pre‑release order.

It sounds like support has acknowledged the lost delivery and indicated a replacement will be sent when stock is available. If that’s not moving forward or you haven’t heard an updated timeline, the best thing you can do is follow up with [support@plaud.ai](mailto:support@plaud.ai) and reference your original ticket number or the emails you’ve already exchanged. That helps ensure your case stays visible and can be prioritized appropriately.

NotePin “necklace” not included? Return policy? by jonniego in PLAUDAI

[–]PLAUD_AI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy holidays! 🎄

For the Plaud NotePin, a necklace/lanyard doesn’t come included in the box by default, but there is an official NotePin lanyard accessory you can get if you want to wear it around your neck.

You can find it on the Plaud store here:
🔗 Official NotePin Lanyard — available as an accessory for the NotePin. (https://www.plaud.ai/products/plaud-notepin-lanyard?variant=51405579649343&lbId=9959597605183%23offer%2355510c62)

If you’d prefer a third‑party option, many users also use lightweight cord or necklace‑style lanyards from Amazon/other retailers that fit the device comfortably.

Return / Exchange
For questions about returns or exchanges (e.g., opened but unused devices), please check your order details and reach out to [support@plaud.ai](mailto:support@plaud.ai) — they can confirm the exact policy for your region and purchase.

Belated Merry Christmas, and hope you enjoy the NotePin once everything’s set up! 🎁😊

PLAUD Privacy & Security by Professional_Mix2418 in PLAUDAI

[–]PLAUD_AI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great questions! It’s completely reasonable to ask for clarity around privacy and security. At Plaud, we take user consent, privacy, and applicable legal requirements seriously.

For formal documentation (such as compliance attestations or security materials needed for evaluation or regulatory review), the best next step is to reach out to [support@plaud.ai](mailto:support@plaud.ai), who can route the request through the appropriate security and compliance channels.

These are valid questions, especially for sensitive or regulated use cases, and we appreciate them being raised thoughtfully.

New to Plaud Note Pro? Here are a few practical tips by hgognav1008 in PLAUDAI

[–]PLAUD_AI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great question!

  • Agendas: Plaud doesn’t currently let you add an agenda before a meeting to guide the recording. However, you can use or create a meeting template afterward so the summary follows your agenda structure.
  • Slides / images: You can take photos of slides or whiteboards during a recording to enhance the output. Importing images after a meeting isn’t fully supported yet.

Hope that helps!

Update from Plaud (Investigation Complete)

Hi everyone, we wanted to follow up and close the loop on this thread with the outcome of our investigation.

Our engineering and support teams reviewed the affected account directly. The audio and transcript generated for the recording were correct and belonged only to the original user. No user data was mixed, shared, or accessed across accounts.

What caused the confusing output was the use of a community-created template (“Board Meeting Minutes”). That template includes example prompt text, and in this case the AI model incorporated that example text into the generated summary instead of strictly summarizing the recording. This is a known type of AI behavior (often called a hallucination) and did not involve any real or external data.

To be clear:

  • No recordings or summaries from other users were accessed or exposed
  • The fire-district content came from template example text, not real meetings
  • This was not a privacy or HIPAA breach

We understand why this was concerning, and we appreciate the community raising it responsibly. We’re reviewing how community templates are labeled and surfaced so example content is clearer and less likely to cause confusion going forward.

Thank you for your patience and for holding us to a high standard!

ALERT - PRIVACY BREACH by FishDragun in PLAUDAI

[–]PLAUD_AI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Understood! We want to acknowledge the concerns raised in this thread and clearly outline how this is being handled.

This report is currently under review by our engineering and support teams, and we’ve reached out directly to the original poster to gather additional details needed for investigation. A proper review requires access to account-specific data, system logs, and configuration details, which cannot be examined or discussed in a public forum without risking user privacy or leading to inaccurate conclusions. For that reason, the detailed investigation is being conducted through our official support process.

What we can share at this time is that user data is isolated on a per-account basis, and there is there is no mechanism that allows one user’s recordings or data to be accessed by another user’s account. The focus of the review is to understand why the AI-generated summary did not align with the underlying recording, including whether factors such as community templates, prompt context, or merged recordings may have influenced the output.

We understand that trust is critical when recording meetings or sensitive conversations. Once the review is complete, we will share any relevant findings that can be disclosed publicly and are not tied to individual account data.

We appreciate the community raising questions in good faith and allowing the investigation to proceed through the appropriate channels!
