if you mainly want to capture and find back conversations, for example with a recorder you always carry.
Record and follow up
Compare Rapportly
Everything Plaud does, without a separate device. And your client work after that.
Rapportly records your conversation, turns it into text, recognises speakers and creates a summary with action points. Just like Plaud. The biggest difference: you do not need a separate device. You record with your phone or computer. And where Plaud stops at the summary, Rapportly also creates the minutes, report, quote and client email, in the style of your own documents.
What this tool does well
What Plaud does
Plaud makes recording devices, such as the Plaud Note and the NotePin, plus an app and desktop version. With them you capture in-person conversations, phone calls and online meetings. Plaud turns the recording into text in more than a hundred languages, recognises speakers and creates summaries based on templates. An AI assistant picks out decisions and action points. That makes Plaud strong at one thing: capturing and summarising the conversation well.
What Rapportly adds
What Rapportly does
Rapportly does what Plaud does: recording, transcribing with speakers and timestamps, summarising and creating action points. You can record at the table, on a phone call or during an online meeting, with the phone or computer you already have. Then Rapportly goes further. You upload a report, email or quote you already like, and Rapportly writes new documents with the same structure, tone and look. You keep everything per client, share documents through your own client portal and create quotes with amounts from your own price list.
