The most extreme real-world use testing came from full council meetings with fourteen people, and occasionally with additional members of the public. We're all seated at different tables, and the furthest from one speaker to another is around 13 feet. I'm pleased to say that with the Plaud Note Pro placed in a central location during the meeting, it performed like a champ. There's another powerful aspect to the software side of Plaud that would be easy to overlook. Automations require a keyword to sound within a customizable time period; such as "personnel meeting" within the first five minutes.
