How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Adobe Podcast when transcribing a recorded interview or conversation and editing it down by editing the text matters most, and Clevercast when providing real-time ai or human-interpreted speech translation for international events matters most. Trial each on a few real meetings before you commit — the better fit usually shows fast.

Clevercast is a multilingual live streaming platform that adds AI-powered closed captions, real-time transcription, speech translation, and remote interpretation to live events and webinars.
Adobe Podcast is a browser-based audio recording, transcription, and editing tool from Adobe. Its Studio records high-quality audio solo or with remote guests, capturing each participant as an individual track, then transcribes every word using the same transcription engine as Adobe Premiere Pro. The result is a text-based editing workflow: once a recording is transcribed, you cut, copy, paste, and delete words in the transcript and the corresponding audio (or video) is edited to match, so you edit sound like a document. It supports speaker detection to automatically label different speakers in the transcript. Beyond editing, it includes Enhance Speech to remove background noise and echo, and Mic Check, an AI analysis that diagnoses microphone problems before recording. It is aimed primarily at podcasters and creators producing spoken-word audio and video, but its transcription, speaker labeling, and voice-to-text capabilities make it usable for turning any recorded conversation into editable text. Adobe Podcast runs in the browser, with full Studio recording and editing officially supported in desktop Google Chrome.

Clevercast is a SaaS platform for multilingual live streaming and accessibility, aimed at organizations broadcasting events, conferences, webinars, and meetings to global audiences. Incoming audio and video are sent from an encoder to Clevercast, which generates AI closed captions described as having high accuracy, including for streams where multiple languages are spoken. From that speech-to-text source it can produce live subtitles in multiple languages, synthetic AI voice translations that viewers select per language, and on-site scrolling transcripts displayed on screens for event attendees. A web interface lets operators correct the AI transcription in real time, improving the resulting captions and translations, and remote human interpreters can also be added for events with strict quality requirements. Streams are delivered via HLS through a global CDN and can be embedded in Clevercast's player or distributed to platforms such as YouTube. It suits enterprises, international bodies, educational institutions, and media companies that need accessible, language-inclusive live broadcasts rather than a personal meeting note-taker.
