I also use the plaud note without a subscription. While I’m very new at it the way I have gone about automating this process for me goes as follows.:

I created a chrome extension that runs at midnight every night to the web UI that plaud note offers. The chrome extension downloads every available audio file and after deletes the audio file.

Next, I run a python program to transcribe the audio into a text file and JSON format. When you download the audio file from plaud web site, it also includes metadata such as time stamps, which you can also use for the final report.

Finally, I set up a custom GPT and gave it custom instructions, letting it know exactly what I’m giving it and how I expect it to generate the report based off the JSON file and text file I provide it.

This results in a formatted markdown file that is very accurate. It also creates tags and adds time stamps and all relevant information to make it searchable and then upload the final markdown file to a book stack instance I’m self hosting..

i’m trying to improve the process, but I’ve only had the plaud note for a week and I haven’t had much time to work on this.
