What is Adobe Podcast?
Adobe Podcast is a browser-based AI audio tool that cleans up voice recordings and helps creators record and edit podcasts online. It is made by Adobe and is best known for Enhance Speech, a feature that removes background noise and room echo so a laptop or phone recording sounds closer to a studio microphone. The free tier processes up to one hour of audio a day, with files up to 30 minutes and 500MB.
The main difference from traditional audio editors is that Enhance Speech needs no settings: you upload a file and download a cleaner version a few moments later. Around that core, Adobe Podcast offers browser recording and text-based editing for spoken content. Common uses include rescuing interviews recorded in noisy rooms, cleaning voiceovers for YouTube and TikTok, tidying online course audio and preparing podcast episodes without installing desktop software. Premium unlocks video files, batch uploads and a slider that controls how strong the enhancement is.
