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.

Riverside

Browser-based recording for podcasts and video interviews. Records each guest locally for broadcast-quality audio and video, even on poor connections. Built-in editor and AI clip generator.
