Plaud Recording Capture

Capture audio with Plaud devices and app: in-person vs phone-call mode, press-to-highlight, placement, battery, consent, and recording hygiene. Use when starting a Plaud recording, choosing Note vs NotePin, or improving capture quality. Scope boundary: post-capture transcription → `plaud-transcription`; legal advice → remind user of local consent laws only.

File contents

Plaud recording & capture

Rule: Consent first, then placement, then highlights for anything you'll need later.

Consent & ethics

Many jurisdictions require all-party consent to record conversations — especially phone calls and classrooms
Ask instructor before recording lectures if policy is unclear
Inform meeting participants when recording starts
Do not publish transcripts of others without permission

Device selection

Device	Best for
Plaud Note	Table meetings, phone calls (dual-mode), interviews
Plaud NotePin / NotePin S	All-day wear, quick hallway/coffee captures
Plaud Note Pro	Larger rooms, longer battery, pro audio pickup

Dual-mode (Note)

In-person: device on table, mic toward speakers, minimize rustling
Phone call: attach per device instructions; hold steady near phone mic/speaker path
Same one-touch workflow — summaries work identically after sync

Press to highlight (Intelligence 3.0+)

Short press on device or tap in app when you hear: exam hint, due date, key definition, action item
Highlights signal Plaud Intelligence what matters → better summaries and Ask Plaud citations
Habits: highlight sparingly (5–10 per hour max) or noise drowns signal

Capture hygiene

Do	Don't
Start recording before content begins	Start mid-sentence after missing setup
State context verbally ("Biology 101, lecture 7, mitosis")	Assume title auto-detection is enough
Keep device charged; know ~30hr spec is marketing max	Let battery die mid-exam review session
Minimize bag rustle, keyboard, open drinks	Cover mic with hand/finger

Sync path

Record on device → WiFi/Bluetooth sync to Plaud App
Verify file appears before leaving venue (no sync = no backup)
Optional: AutoFlow for hands-off transcribe + summarize → plaud-autoflow

Naming & organization (app)

Rename files early: YYYY-MM-DD_Course_LectureTopic — matches onedrive-organization if exporting later.

Boundaries

Not a substitute for attending class — transcript lags and misses board work
Online Zoom/Teams native bots → different tools; Plaud can still capture room audio if legal
