Stealth-Listening Devices
Curious to get others thoughts on the usage of 'stealth' listening devices (e.g. a device like a USB stick, pen or note-card) during meetings and at work. I've been using them on and off since my memory is pretty bad and they've honestly been a life-saver.
I'll discretely carry them around (and are less obvious than other options like the wrist-wearable listening devices) and then upload the recordings to my personal computer. I use AI to summarize, transcribe and tag the voices (e.g. it'll start to pick-up and recognize who the voices are associated with which is even more helpful vs just the transcript).
Obviously this is super high-risk if I get caught but I feel like the benefits (perfect memory, excellent follow-ups, note-taking, etc.) outweigh the cons. Plus, New York is a one-party consent state. So far this has helped me tremendously and I've been getting tons of compliments and kudos for my notetaking and recall ability (e.g. knowing and having a management # off-hand that was only quickly mentioned).
The only time I've been close to getting caught is when someone did a double-take that I recalled something they had mentioned off-hand like 4 months ago. I just pretended like I had good memory and laughed it off but I think they were a bit taken-aback that I had recalled that. Plus, my recall is obviously not as good in-person vs when I can cross-reference my notes.
Thoughts? Should I quit while I'm ahead / before anyone notices or keep going?
W rage bait please kys
Why is there a risk if caught? I use Plaud.ai it looks like a credit card it sticks to the back of you work iPhone via magsafe it its super discreet and for Teams / Zoom i just sit it next to my laptop speaker.
I think having an assoc sit and either type or handwrite notes is absurd, and VP+ sitting there typing makes meetings feel transacational and less conversational so i sit there and can engage vs feel like if i miss something im f'd
