These AI notetaking devices can help you record and transcribe your meetings
Digital meeting notetakers like Read AI, Fireflies.ai, Fathom, and Granola help record and transcribe online meetings. But for in-person or more versatile options, many people prefer physical recording devices. These physical notetakers transcribe audio and give users summaries and action items of meetings using AI.
Some of these devices are wearable — pins or pendants with dedicated mics for recording — while others are credit card sized with dedicated mobile apps to transcribe and extract insights using AI. A few even offer live translation.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of physical AI notetakers and transcription tools.
Plaud Note/Plaud Note Pro
This credit-card-sized notetaker has been around since 2023, with a newer, AI-powered Pro version that has a small screen, four mics, and records audio within three to five meters. It also can switch between in-person recording and call recording.

Comulytic Note Pro
Comulytic is a newer entrant in the hardware AI notetaker market. The company’s claim for differentiation is that its $159 Note Pro device doesn’t require any additional subscription for basic transcription. That means you can transcribe unlimited minutes by just buying the device.
The device can record up to 45 hours of audio continuously on a single charge and has more than 100 days of standby time.
The company has a $15 per month or $119 per year advanced plan that offers instant AI summaries, unlimited templates for summaries, an action item list, and chat with AI assistant without any limits.
