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 StreamAlive when collecting live anonymous polls and sentiment during large broadcasts matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

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.

StreamAlive is a live audience engagement platform built to make large, broadcast-style meetings such as company town halls and all-hands sessions interactive. Instead of requiring attendees to scan QR codes or open separate apps, it turns the existing meeting chat into a participation channel, working across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, YouTube Live, and in-person presentations. Presenters can run multiple poll types (open-ended and multiple-choice power polls, rating polls), generate live word clouds from chat responses, drop pins on interactive maps, spin selection wheels, and collect emoji reactions, all rendered visually on screen in real time. For town halls and all-hands, its question management is a core draw: StreamAlive automatically detects and curates audience questions out of the chat stream so moderators do not miss them. Its AI layer, branded StreamAlive AI, can generate ready-to-use interactions from an uploaded presentation or topic description, summarize chat discussions with insights and notable quotes, and produce visualizations based on what the audience types. The product is delivered as a browser-based SaaS tool aimed at presenters who want higher engagement and clearer feedback during company-wide and webinar-style meetings. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
