What a wearable recording device for interviews does differently

Every interview captured. No phone on the table. No bot in the room.

Plaud NotePin S is a wearable recording device that clips on and records natural conversation without placing a device on the table between you and the person you are interviewing. Phone recorders and tabletop devices create a visible barrier and can change how freely sources speak. Plaud NotePin S sits on a lapel or clip, captures both voices at close range, and delivers a speaker-labeled transcript and structured summary in under 60 seconds after the interview ends.

3 artifacts, ready when the interview ends

Shareable structured notes

Paste directly into Google Docs, Notion, or your research platform. No reformatting and no manual entry.

Workflow fit

Is Plaud NotePin S the recording device for interviews that fits your workflow?

Most recording devices for interviews are phones or tabletop recorders that sit between you and your subject. Plaud NotePin S is a wearable clip that stays out of sight and captures both sides clearly. Check whether the difference fits your workflow.
