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

01

Speaker-labeled transcript

Every word attributed to the right voice. Searchable, timestamped, and exportable for quotes or compliance.

02

AI interview summary

Key themes, direct quotes, and follow-up questions extracted automatically from the conversation.

03

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.

What you need
Plaud handles it
Why it works
You conduct HR candidate interviews and need an accurate record of what was said without a device sitting visibly on the desk
Plaud NotePin S clips to your lapel or lanyard. The interview feels natural and both voices are captured at close range.
You are a journalist interviewing sources and need an unobtrusive recorder that does not make sources self-conscious
Plaud NotePin S weighs 17.4 g and is worn rather than placed. Sources speak more naturally when there is no device between you.
You run UX user research sessions and need a transcript that identifies each speaker without manual labeling afterward
Plaud NotePin S produces speaker-labeled transcripts automatically. Researchers spend time on analysis, not transcription.
You conduct academic or qualitative research interviews and need a verbatim record you can cite and quote from
The full verbatim transcript is exportable and timestamped. Every quote is traceable back to its moment in the audio.
You interview subjects in cafes, offices, or field locations where background noise is a concern
Plaud NotePin S uses close-range capture to pick up both voices clearly even in ambient noise environments.
You conduct interviews in multiple languages and need transcription without switching tools
Plaud NotePin S transcribes in 112 languages with speaker identification.
