Introducing the World’s First Recorder with ChatGPT: Your Handheld Personal Assistant
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving and impacting various industries. While there is ongoing debate about the degree to which AI will transform different sectors, one task that many people wouldn’t mind delegating to AI is the tedious job of note-taking and transcribing. Recognizing this need, iZYREC has launched a Kickstarter campaign for a groundbreaking device called the Plaud Note.
The Plaud Note is an ultra-thin, aluminum-bodied recorder that attaches to the back of your iPhone or Android phone. With a simple switch, it can instantly record phone calls, making it a convenient tool for busy individuals. While other devices have offered similar features, the Plaud Note takes it a step further by incorporating ChatGPT, an AI model developed by OpenAI. This integration enables the Plaud Note to function as a personal assistant for your audio needs.
According to iZYREC, the Plaud Note is the most advanced voice recorder in the world. It utilizes the Plaud phone app to provide an array of valuable features, including voice-to-text transcription, automated summaries, meeting notes, to-do lists, and interactive mind maps. These capabilities are designed to save users a significant amount of time and effort.
Recording calls with the Plaud Note is a breeze. Simply toggle the switch to activate the Vibration Conduction Sensor (VCS), which captures all participants of the call with remarkable clarity. Toggle the switch again, and you can record the audio in your surroundings, making it useful for capturing meeting discussions, important appointments, or even in-person lectures.
The Plaud Note features two Knowles SiSonic microphones, ensuring DVD-quality sound with a bitrate of up to 1,536 kbps. Additionally, it incorporates the SVE Call Solution, which effectively filters out background noise for clearer playback.
The standout feature of the Plaud Note is the integration of OpenAI Whisper, which converts speech to text. This enables the device to provide accurate, time-coded transcriptions of any recorded material. If you don’t require the full transcript, ChatGPT can generate summaries in a matter of seconds.
When it comes to battery life, the Plaud Note boasts an impressive 30 hours of continuous recording and two months of standby power. Additionally, its 64 GB storage can accommodate up to 480 hours of captured recordings.
During the Kickstarter campaign, the Plaud Note is available for a pledge of $99 (the retail price will be $159). As an added incentive, backers will receive one month of AI membership for free. The estimated shipping date for the product is September 2023.
While the audio files are initially stored in the Plaud App, users will have access to 10,000 minutes of free cloud storage for the first three years. However, unlocking the ChatGPT features requires a subscription, which costs $9.90 per month. Subscribers will enjoy benefits such as 600 minutes of stored audio, transcriptions in 57 different languages, and unlimited access to ChatGPT functions like summarizing, creating to-do lists, and mind mapping.
It is worth noting that recording phone calls is subject to legal regulations. In some US states, all parties involved must be aware of the recording. These states include California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington. However, in other regions, only one party needs to be aware of the recording. It is advisable to familiarize oneself with the laws in your specific location. The Plaud Note is available for shipping worldwide.
