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 Ma Synthèse when documenting internal team meetings with auto-assigned tasks and reminders matters most. Run both through a week of actual calls to see which suits your workflow.

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.

Ma Synthèse is a French SaaS application from GetCaaS that automates meeting documentation through a three-step process: it captures and transcribes spoken exchanges, organizes the discussion by topic and by speaker, then generates a clear, structured meeting report. Each report surfaces decisions and important points and produces an action list assigned to individual participants, with the tool able to send those tasks out and remind people who forget them. Its defining angle is data sovereignty: the service runs on French infrastructure (Scaleway) using Mistral AI, keeps data in France, and is positioned as a GDPR-compliant alternative for organizations with strict confidentiality needs. It targets municipal councils, public bodies and law enforcement, as well as legal and medical professionals. Pricing is usage-based, calculated from meeting hours multiplied by the number of licenses, with one free hour per month per organization and no commitment; organizations above thirty licenses get a custom quote. Announced in June 2026, it was selected to present at VivaTech 2026.
