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 Loka Note when recording and summarizing in-person discussions by placing a phone on the table matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

AI meeting notes tool built for Nigerian users, transcribing and summarizing conversations across English, Hausa, Yoruba, and Nigerian Pidgin.
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.

Loka Note is an AI meeting assistant aimed at the Nigerian market, designed to record, transcribe, summarize, and analyze conversations. Its defining feature is multilingual coverage of English, Hausa, Yoruba, and Nigerian Pidgin, including code-switching where speakers mix these languages within a single conversation. Loka Note records directly from the browser without requiring downloads, plugins, or a bot joining the call, and it can capture both remote calls and in-person discussions when a phone is placed on the table to pick up audio. After a meeting ends, the tool generates a structured summary with key decisions and action items, alongside a searchable transcript. An Ask Loka chat feature lets users query their past meetings in natural language, in English, Hausa, or Yoruba, to retrieve specific decisions or tasks. Summaries can be exported to PDF for sharing, and an archive keeps transcripts searchable over time. The product is live with sign-up, login, and subscription plans, positioning it as a locally optimized option for professionals in Nigeria. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
