What they are

Krisp

Krisp runs as a virtual audio device on your desktop, stripping background noise from both sides of a call in real time and processing audio locally so your voice never hits the cloud. It has since expanded into a full meeting assistant: bot-free transcription, AI summaries, action items, and real-time accent conversion for Indian, Filipino, and Latin American English speakers. Podcasters, remote workers, and call center teams use it. The AI summaries are functional but less polished than those from note-taking-focused rivals.

Podcastle

Podcastle, recently rebranded as Async, is a browser-based audio and video production platform aimed at podcasters and solo creators. It handles remote recording, AI-powered noise removal, transcription-based editing, and voice cloning in one workspace. The free tier covers basic recording but caps exports and AI features. Paid plans start around $11.99 per month, making it competitive with dedicated tools like Descript for audio-first workflows.
