Can I pause a recording on Plaud NotePin S using the device button?

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.

1. Start a recording and open the active recording screen in the Plaud App.
2. Tap Pause to pause the recording.

   

3. Confirm the recording timer/status stops updating (paused state).
4. 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

1. When you need to "pause," stop the recording and save the file.
2. 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.
