For those that don't know, Adobe Podcast is a web browser tool you get access to if you have a Creative Cloud subscription, and it is AWESOME. You give it crappy audio of someone talking and it spits out near studio level sound quality. For most of my videos, I've stopped using a good mic, I just use my macbook's internal mic if I'm doing computer recordings or I use a random crappy lav mic and then throw the audio into Adobe Podcast. Testing Write-UpAdobe Podcast vs Premiere Pro Enhance Speech

NEGATIVE trustpilot

Adobe shame on you, very buggy software always crashed, I have high end PC more than mention recomened specs. The recent version of premier pro has UI issue not showing any text selection or mask on preview tab. Charging high monthly fee but very laggy and stupid softwares.

I'm a professional audio mixer and use noise reduction every day. Adobe podcast is impressive at first listen but it's pretty poor quality once you learn what it sounds like (there are some way way better products out there.) It resynthesizes the voice entirely and there are often many randomly missing phonemes that make the voice sound very artificial.

POSITIVE reddit

I'm an editor for multiple podcasts. I use Adobe Podcast Enhance constantly...you know why? Because it's quicker and does a better job than me noodling around with garbage audio for an extended period of time. It's about leveraging time, not being a perfectionist. These tools save time, which is their purpose.

I was waiting for this along time, they launched the subscription model, and it is sick. The voice is enhanced way much better than beta version and very smooth. I don’t know if anyone here tried this premium version?

Nachweisen kann ich es natürlich nicht - wie auch. Eine Bestätigungsmail finde ich nicht, also muss der Fehler bei mir liegen. Allerdings ist der Abmeldeprozess von einem Abo vergleichbar mit einer Betrügerseite. Man weiss bis zum Schluss nicht, ob man das Abo wirklich gekündigt hat. Ich hoffe, beim zweiten Anlauf hat es geklappt. Die 35 CHF reuen mich trotzdem. Das Produkt hat einiges zu bieten, daran liegt es nicht, im Gegenteil.

Ich bin vom Adobe-Kundendienst leider sehr enttäuscht. Meine rechtmäßig erworbene Lizenz für Photoshop Elements konnte nach einem Gerätewechsel nicht mehr aktiviert werden. Als Begründung erhielt ich, dass das Aktivierungslimit erreicht und der Aktivierungszeitraum abgelaufen sei. Eine Lösung für Bestandskunden wurde nicht angeboten – stattdessen sollte ich Photoshop Elements 2026 für 80,99 € zzgl. MwSt. neu kaufen. Der Support war zwar freundlich und hat schnell geantwortet, aber das eigentlich

Signed up for the free trial to test a feature they have advertised. It was to do with applying ai to video editing and changing backgrounds. Not only did that functionality did not exist as part of the package that was recommended for the free trial, but also when I cancelled the subscription somehow I needed to cancel something else to actually not get charged. So now I am locked into a 1 year contract with them, unless I pay extra to cancel early for something I am not using. that's £21.99 pm

WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT EVER!!! Seriously, what is the point of outsourcing the support department to India and teach the employees just some basic phrases such as "you will get the highest priority" or "your issue will be solved in 5-7 business days"... I have purchased Adobe Cloud 1-year subscription and after a month I'm still not able to use it. There's no way to force Adobe to help me so if they don't want to, they simply won't. I have paid for a product that I cannot use. They promised to

Ik wilde mijn abonnement op Adobe Lightroom verlengen, maar door een fout in het systeem van Adobe is dat onmogelijk. Het grootste probleem is echter de klantenservice. Contact opnemen is vrijwel onmogelijk en telefonisch word je nauwelijks geholpen. Je krijgt een medewerker aan de lijn die het probleem niet begrijpt of geen oplossing kan bieden, waardoor je van het kastje naar de muur wordt gestuurd. Voor een bedrijf als Adobe is dit simpelweg onacceptabel. Je betaalt een premium prijs, maar k

Adobe's creative applications give designers a deep and capable set of tools. Photoshop and Illustrator let me produce polished work without needing to move between several different programs, and most of the interface feels familiar once a workflow is established. The problem is reliability. I have had Photoshop layers freeze during active projects, forcing a restart and breaking my concentration. Support also took longer to respond than I expected, although the community forums were genuinely

Terrible support. Adobe updates its programs often. Tbh I see little benefit from their updates as they tend to create more problems than they are worth. The new Ai features are pretty useless so I keep to very much a manual work flow. My main issue is they have very poor if non existent customer support for professionals. I have subscribed since 2015 and I am now looking at Affinity Photo which is a one time purchase and so far works well.

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS! I've been trying to cancel my subscription for ages but they wont let me. Terrible service, ZERO customer support. I'm going to have to talk to my bank to stop them taking my money and giving me nothing in return. repeat, DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THIS TERRIBLE SERVICE, there's lots of alternatives

I'm a frequent Audition user, and got invited to my Alma Mater by a former professor who wants her students to make podcasts for their final projects since a lot of the work they have so far are in audio interviews. I did the same workshop in the spring, but as it turns out teaching the basics of Audition in two hours is way harder than I expected, so I am pivoting this time around and trying to use Adobe Podcast Studio instead, given how much it has improved over the last 12 months or so.

I made the mistake of downloading Adobe Acrobat Reader. What occurred next was the download from hell. Without asking me, Adobe downloaded not just the reader, but two versions of Photoshop, Creative Commons code and some other crud. It also attempted to install a chrome extension that would have had power of attorney over anything I did in Chrome. It also attempted to download McAfee anti-virus software, and that was very bad because I already have anti-virus software and terrible things happe

Questions

Frequently asked

What is Adobe Podcast?

Adobe Podcast is a web-based AI tool that helps podcasters and content creators fix audio problems after recording without needing professional microphones. It uses AI-powered noise removal and echo reduction to enhance voice recordings, and provides a complete browser-based environment for recording, editing, and enhancing podcasts.

Is Adobe Podcast free?

Yes, Adobe Podcast offers a free plan that allows you to enhance audio files up to 30 minutes and 500 MB, with a limit of 1 hour of enhanced speech per day and 2 Studio project downloads daily. There's also a Premium plan at $9.99/month that removes these limitations and adds features like video support, bulk processing, and unlimited downloads.

What's the difference between Enhance Speech and Studio features?

Enhance Speech is for uploading existing audio or video files to remove noise and echo using AI processing, supporting bulk uploads and adjustable enhancement strength. Studio is a complete browser-based recording and editing environment where you can conduct remote recordings, perform transcription-based editing, and download projects with speaker-separated tracks.

Can I edit audio by editing text instead of waveforms?

Yes, Adobe Podcast offers transcription-based editing, which allows you to edit your audio files by modifying the text transcript rather than working directly with audio waveforms. This streamlines the editing process for creators who prefer text-based workflows over traditional audio editing methods.

What file formats and sizes does Adobe Podcast support?

Adobe Podcast supports audio and video files including MP4 and MOV formats. Free users can upload files up to 500 MB and 30 minutes duration, while Premium subscribers can process files up to 1 GB and 2 hours long.

Do I need to download software to use Adobe Podcast?

No, Adobe Podcast operates entirely within web browsers without requiring any software downloads or installations. You can access all recording, editing, and enhancement features directly through your web browser.

Can I process multiple audio files at once?

Yes, Adobe Podcast supports bulk uploading for processing multiple files in an automatic queue. However, this bulk processing feature is only available with the Premium plan, not the free tier.

What are audiograms and can I customize them?

Audiograms are visual representations of your audio content that can be shared on social media. Premium subscribers can generate branded audiograms with custom themes and backgrounds, and also get access to Adobe Express features for creating podcast logos and cover art.
