My CES 2026 Secret Weapon? This New Wearable AI Note-Taking Pin From Plaud
Plaud released the NotePin S wearable and Plaud Desktop app to enhance AI meeting notes with features like 9-foot audio range and 300 free transcription minutes monthly.
- At CES 2026, Plaud announced the NotePin S wearable and Plaud Desktop, both available immediately for $179, ahead of the event in Las Vegas.
- To address earlier complaints, Plaud replaced the criticized squeeze-to-record with a recessed button and long-press activation, while NotePin S uses dual MEMS microphones tested to around 9.8 feet.
- The NotePin S weighs 17.4g, offers 64GB onboard storage and about 20 hours continuous recording, and includes a clip, lanyard, magnetic pin, wristband plus 300 minutes of transcription per month.
- With more than 1.5 million devices sold, Plaud aims to compete with Otter.ai, Granola, Fathom, and Fireflies, targeting professionals and students.
- The Plaud app keeps multimodal note-taking—images and typed notes—alongside transcripts, offers a free starter plan, and users can order the NotePin S from Plaud website and Amazon with Apple Find My support; Plaud says users must obtain consent before recording.
