Short answer
No. Plaud NotePin S does not support pausing a recording on the device (the physical Record button cannot pause/resume).
Workaround 1: Use in-app Pause/Resume
When this works: Use this when the recording session is visible/controlled in the Plaud App.
- Start a recording and open the active recording screen in the Plaud App.
- Tap Pause to pause the recording.
- Confirm the recording timer/status stops updating (paused state).
- Tap Resume to continue the same recording file.
Checkpoint: You can pause/resume from the app, but not from the device button.
Workaround 2: Record multiple shorter files
- When you need to "pause," stop the recording and save the file.
- Start a new recording when ready, creating multiple clips.
Merging note: The Plaud App currently only supports merging two files at a time. If you have more than two files to merge, you will need to repeat the merging process.
