What they are

Adobe Podcast

Adobe Podcast is a browser-based audio tool that removes background noise, enhances voice recordings, and generates transcripts using AI. It targets podcasters, educators, and video creators who record in less-than-ideal environments. The Enhance Speech feature genuinely improves muddy recordings, though heavy processing can occasionally make voices sound slightly synthetic. A free tier exists with usage limits, and the paid plan sits under the Adobe Creative Cloud umbrella.

Captions

Captions is a mobile-first AI video editor aimed at creators who produce talking-head content for social media. It auto-generates captions, removes filler words, corrects eye contact, and can clone your voice for overdubs. The app targets solo creators who want a post-production shortcut, though its desktop feature set is still catching up to its mobile counterpart.
