Simplifying note-taking for a quality technician: Donna Boshaw's story

Meet Donna Boshaw



Donna Boshaw is a quality technician for a major boat manufacturer, where her role revolves around assisting with assembly operations, auditing processes, and attending multiple daily meetings. Taking notes during meetings has been a challenge because of a condition called Benign Essential Tremors.


"I shake all the time, and most times I can't even read my own writing," she shared. For Donna, Plaud Note has been a transformative addition to her daily routine. Recommended by her immediate supervisor, AI-powered device has taken the stress out of note-taking and allowed her to focus on what truly matters.

How Donna Uses Plaud Note



Donna uses Plaud Note to navigate both short and long meetings with ease.

“For quick intra-office meetings, I don’t have to worry about writing,” she explained. “For longer one- to two-hour meetings, this little device is amazing. I can concentrate on what's being said knowing that I only have to connect to my phone, and that's when the magic happens."

With its transcription and summarization capabilities, Plaud Note ensures Donna never misses a detail. Depending on the context, she decides whether to rely on full transcriptions or summaries for her notes.

The features that stand out most to her include:

  • The compact size of the device
  • Its ease of use and ability to edit notes
  • Automatic meeting titling and flexible export options

“The transcription is what sold me. It doesn’t take long for the transcription to take place, and the device is so easy to use,” she noted.

Overcoming Challenges and Helping Others



“Having Benign Essential Tremors, this device has been a game changer,” she emphasized. “I’m always looking for help in my daily life, and this is certainly one of them.”


Donna has already recommended Plaud Note to her colleagues and knows someone who has purchased it based on her suggestion. “This is great for anyone who attends meetings or is in college,” she added.
