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 Google Gemini in Meet when letting participants focus on the conversation instead of typing notes matters most. Trial each on a few real meetings before you commit — the better fit usually shows fast.

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.
Best suited for
Gemini in Google Meet is Google's built-in AI meeting assistant, available to eligible Google Workspace subscribers rather than as a standalone app. Its "Take notes for me" feature automatically captures meeting notes, summaries, and action items and saves them to a Google Doc that is shared with the organizer and attached to the calendar event; a "summary so far" lets latecomers catch up. It also offers real-time translated captions and AI audio/video enhancements such as studio lighting, studio sound, and noise cancellation. Because it lives inside Meet, it works only for Google Meet calls and not Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Webex. It is included in Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, and Enterprise plans (and Gemini/Frontline editions), but not Business Starter. Notes integrate natively with Google Docs, Drive, and Calendar across the Workspace ecosystem. English and several additional languages are supported.
