Plaud has just unveiled a new AI Recorder dubbed the Plaud NotePin S during CES 2026, the latest of the NotePin series following the NotePin introduced in 2024. However, the new NotePin comes with a button.
Plaud NotePin S – CES 2026
The Plaud NotePin S, as the name suggests, is a small, Pin-sized AI notetaker. It also features as a button, allowing you to start and stop recording by long pressing it, as well as highlight markers with a short press. In comparison, the NotePin relied on haptic controls with a buzz as feedback.
Along with the button, the NotePin S features 64GB of onboard storage and a battery that is said to offer up to 20 hours of continuous recording. It also has two MEMS (Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems) mics that are capable of capturing audio of up to 9.8 feet of range.
Plaud has also confirmed that you’ll get to enjoy up to 300 minutes of transcription per month, along with the Plaud NotePin S.
In addition to the NotePin S, the company has also introduced a new desktop app for Mac and Windows that works across meeting apps like Zoom, Meet, and Teams. You can set the app to either automatically record your meetings or do it manually.
Moreover, you’ll be able to add images and typed notes along with audio transcription in the desktop app.
Pricing and Availability
The Plaud NotePin S is available in Black, Silver, and Purple, and it is priced at USD 179 (around PHP 10,600). It comes with a clip, a lanyard, a magnetic pin, and a wristband. The inclusions allow you to use and wear the NotePin S in any way you choose.
