Shortlist Adobe Podcast when transcribing a recorded interview or conversation and editing it down by editing the text matters most, and Typist when generating srt or webvtt captions for podcasts and videos matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

AI speech-to-text service that converts audio and video into text and exports captions, with tiered models for speed or accuracy.
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.

Typist is an AI transcription service that converts audio and video files into text and caption files. Users upload recordings in common formats such as MP3, MP4, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and WebM, and Typist returns a transcript that can be exported to DOCX, SRT subtitles, WebVTT captions, PDF, or plain text. The platform offers multiple transcription models, described as Turbo for speed, Pro for a balance of speed and accuracy, and Studio for the highest accuracy, with the Studio tier adding speaker identification. Typist supports a wide range of languages and accents and provides word-level and segment-level timestamps, which makes it suitable for producing subtitles that import cleanly into video editors. The product positions itself around fast turnaround for pre-recorded content and predictable, credit-based usage. Its documented use cases span lectures, podcasts, interviews, research and client calls, and consulting meetings, alongside students, therapists, and video editors. A free tier with a limited number of minutes lets new users try the service before moving to paid plans, and a web dashboard handles uploads, transcription, and exports. Pricing varies by plan.
