AI-powered audio recording and editing platform that works entirely in the web browser.
Adobe Podcast is a browser-based AI audio tool that delivers studio-quality recording, enhancement, and editing through automated speech processing, with a free tier and premium access included in Creative Cloud subscriptions starting around $22.99/month. It targets podcasters, journalists, content creators, and remote teams who need professional-sounding voice audio without investing in acoustic treatment or high-end recording hardware.
Launched by Adobe in 2022 (originally as Project Shasta) and officially released in 2023, Adobe Podcast leverages Adobe's research into speech AI to strip background noise, echo, and room reverb from voice recordings in seconds. The flagship Enhance Speech feature processes uploaded audio and returns broadcast-quality results that sound as if they were recorded in a professional studio, while Studio provides a full multi-track web-based editor for remote interviews with each participant recorded locally in high quality. Mic Check evaluates recording setup quality before a session begins, helping users catch issues like distance, background noise, or clipping before they ruin a take.
Based on our analysis of 870+ AI tools, Adobe Podcast stands out in the audio category for pairing best-in-class speech enhancement with zero installation overhead â everything runs in the browser. Compared to alternatives like Descript, which bundles transcription-based editing and screen recording, Adobe Podcast focuses more narrowly on voice quality and cleanup. Versus standalone noise reducers like Krisp or Auphonic, Adobe's model tends to produce more natural-sounding results on speech but offers less control over specific parameters. For creators already inside Adobe's Creative Cloud ecosystem, the tool integrates naturally with Audition and Premiere Pro workflows, making it a strong pick for hybrid video-and-podcast production. Free users get limited monthly Enhance Speech minutes (generally 1 hour per day with file length caps), while paid Creative Cloud subscribers unlock higher limits and longer file support.

The flagship AI feature that processes voice recordings to remove background noise, echo, and room reverb while preserving natural vocal tone. Users upload audio (up to 4 hours per file on free tier) and receive enhanced output typically within 1-3 minutes. Widely regarded as best-in-class for speech cleanup based on our comparison testing across 20+ audio tools.
A browser-based recording environment where hosts and up to multiple guests can record simultaneously, with each participant's audio captured locally in high quality on their own device. The tracks then sync to the cloud, avoiding the compression artifacts of video conferencing tools. Includes basic editing with AI-assisted features like filler word removal.
A pre-recording diagnostic tool that analyzes microphone setup and environment before a session starts. It provides a score and specific recommendations on issues like distance from the mic, background noise levels, and room acoustics. Helps creators catch problems before they ruin a take rather than discovering them in post-production.
Paid subscribers can move projects seamlessly between Adobe Podcast, Audition, and Premiere Pro, with enhanced audio available as source material in the broader Adobe ecosystem. This is particularly valuable for video creators already paying for Creative Cloud starting at $59.99/month for the All Apps plan. Includes shared asset libraries and consistent account management.
Beyond enhancement, Adobe Podcast includes AI-powered editing shortcuts such as filler word detection and removal, silence trimming, and voice leveling across multiple speakers. These features turn raw multi-track recordings into publish-ready episodes faster than manual editing in a DAW. Particularly useful for creators without formal audio engineering training.
