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 MaxIQ (EchoIQ) when coaching reps against sales methodologies using recorded call analysis 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.

MaxIQ (operated by Gyaan AI Inc.) is an AI-native revenue intelligence platform for B2B SaaS go-to-market teams that unifies forecasting, pipeline inspection, conversation intelligence, and post-sales visibility. Its conversation-intelligence component, EchoIQ, captures customer interactions across channels including meetings, calls, and emails, then translates them into insights that feed deal health, forecast accuracy, and retention models. EchoIQ is structured as a set of AI agents: an AI NoteTaker that auto-links conversations to the relevant deals and accounts, an AI Summarizer that produces briefs with decisions, risks, and next steps, an AI Coach that reviews calls against sales methodologies to surface coaching gaps, an AI Forecaster that adjusts win probability based on call signals, an AI Radar that monitors keywords and competitor mentions, and an AI Taskmaster that converts action items into tracked tasks. The platform also offers meeting preparation, live transcription during calls, real-time assistance, and automatic CRM updates. EchoIQ sits alongside MaxIQ's InspectIQ and ForecastIQ engines for deal inspection and forecasting. It is aimed at sales, customer success, and revenue operations teams that want conversation data tied directly to pipeline and forecasting rather than analyzed in isolation. Pricing varies by plan.
