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 Kapwing when collaboratively editing captions across a team matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

Collaborative browser-based video editor with auto subtitle generation and video-to-text transcription.
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.

Kapwing is a collaborative, browser-based video creation and editing platform that includes automatic subtitle generation and transcription among its core tools. Users can upload audio or video, or create content within the editor, and Kapwing's auto subtitle generator transcribes the spoken audio into time-synced captions that can be edited, restyled, and exported. The platform also offers a dedicated function to turn videos into text automatically, producing a transcript from the recording. Captions can be translated into many languages, supporting creators who publish across regions. Kapwing positions itself as a workspace for teams, with collaboration features that let multiple people work on the same project, alongside a broad set of editing tools such as trimming, resizing for different platforms, and adding text and graphics. It is aimed at social media teams, marketers, educators, and creators who need quick, editable captions and transcripts integrated directly into a video editing and collaboration workflow rather than a separate transcription service. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
