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 iFlyRec when journalists and researchers converting recordings to searchable text matters most. Run both through a week of actual calls to see which suits your workflow.

iFLYTEK's Chinese AI transcription platform for recording-to-text, meeting minutes, and multilingual translation.
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.

It also provides multilingual transcription and translation, with several languages available for instant translation, and connects to iFLYTEK's broader tooling such as an AI writing assistant for refining output.
