Plaud has officially launched the Note Pro in the UAE, just in time for GITEX 2025. Aimed at professionals who spend too much time typing up notes, the device promises accurate transcripts, smart summaries, and a dose of privacy-friendly design. The big draw? A physical “press to highlight” button that helps the AI know when something important happens.
What is Plaud Note Pro?
Plaud Note Pro is a dedicated AI-powered recorder that aims to make note-taking feel effortless. Instead of juggling apps, you get one compact gadget that captures and processes your meetings on its own.
- Four microphones with AI-powered noise filtering
- A physical “press to highlight” button for instant context
- Up to 50 hours of continuous recording
- Dual Mode for meetings and phone calls
- Integrates with Plaud Intelligence 3.0 for summaries and Q&A
That highlight button is the clever part. Tap it mid-conversation, and the AI flags that section as important when creating the final summary. It’s a human signal built into an AI workflow—something most apps miss.
A smart fit for the UAE
The UAE is deep into its AI adoption phase, and Plaud is clearly aware. The Note Pro launch at GITEX 2025 isn’t just symbolic—it’s strategic.
- Live demo at GITEX 2025 (stand H1-49)
- Pre-orders now open in the UAE
- Over 1 million global users, according to Plaud
The device targets lawyers, clinicians, educators, and anyone who can’t afford transcription errors or security mishaps. For those groups, a purpose-built recorder with compliance baked in might be more reliable than yet another mobile app.
Hardware that actually helps
Good audio is everything when your AI depends on it. Plaud Note Pro uses four microphones that pick up voices clearly from up to 16 feet away. Dual Mode recording means you can switch between meetings and calls without diving through menus, and that 50-hour battery means you can get through multi-day events without charging.
- 4-mic array for clear capture in rooms and calls
- Smart Dual Mode Recording
- 50 hours continuous use
In a crowded room or echoey space, this hardware-first approach could make the difference between a clean transcript and another AI mess.
The brains: Plaud Intelligence 3.0
Plaud’s updated software is where the magic happens. Version 3.0 brings multimodal support, better summaries, and an “Ask Plaud” feature that lets you query your own recordings.
- Accepts audio, text, and image inputs
- Generates structured, multi-layered summaries
- Ask Plaud answers questions directly from your files
- Includes 3,000+ templates for professionals
- New interface for faster navigation
It’s built for speed and clarity. You can attach whiteboard photos or written notes, and the AI blends everything into one clean output. The Q&A tool is particularly useful: ask about a topic, and it cites the exact part of your meeting where it was discussed.
Security you can actually verify
Unlike generic transcription tools, Plaud Note Pro makes a point about compliance. The company lists full adherence to SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and EN18031—frameworks designed for sensitive industries like healthcare, law, and finance.
- SOC 2
- HIPAA
- GDPR
- EN18031
That means it meets the basic requirements for protecting client and patient data, giving IT teams fewer headaches when approving it for use.
Availability in the UAE
Plaud Note Pro is now available for pre-order in the UAE, with live demos happening at GITEX 2025 in Dubai. The Plaud app supports iOS, Android, and web, and other models like Plaud Note and NotePin are also on display.
