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.

The iFLYTEK AINOTE Air 2 is an AI-powered digital notebook that combines handwriting and voice capture for meetings, lectures, and study sessions. The device uses an E-ink paper-like display with a stylus and records meeting audio while converting voice to text in real time, supporting transcription across more than a dozen languages and handwriting-to-text conversion across many more. It is designed to simplify taking accurate, instant meeting memos, letting users blend traditional note-taking with AI transcription on a single ultra-slim device. The notebook includes AI assistance that lets users chat with the system to ask questions, refine ideas, or expand rough notes into structured content, and iFLYTEK markets meeting-summary capabilities that condense long transcripts into concise overviews. Notes and recordings sync securely to the AINOTE mobile app for multi-device access, so captured content is preserved and reachable beyond the device. The hardware emphasizes long battery life and portability, and iFLYTEK, a well-established speech-technology company, sells the AINOTE Air 2 directly as a current product. It suits professionals and students who prefer a dedicated writing-plus-recording device over a phone or laptop app for capturing and reviewing meetings. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
