Por qué los usuarios de Plaud migran a AudioMap

No gadget, same wow

You don't have to wait for the device to arrive, recharge the battery, sync firmware, or worry about the magnet falling off. Just upload the audio you already record with your phone or meeting app.

European data sovereignty

Your transcriptions are never sent to the USA to generate embeddings. We run bge-m3 locally on our dedicated European server.

Spanish as a first-class citizen

Regional variants (es-ES, es-MX, es-AR, es-CO, es-CL…), documented ES↔EN code-switching, professional Hispanic vocabulary.

Human customer support

Human support in Spanish. Plaud Trustpilot is full of complaints about non-existent support and unauthorized charges after free trials.

One-click cancellation, no tricks

Stripe Customer Portal with instant cancellation from your account. Real free tier (120 min/mo that renew).

Automatic mind maps

Each summary optionally generates a visual mind map with Claude. Useful for scanning the most important points at a glance.
