Adobe Podcast is a web app for recording and cleaning up spoken-word audio without a traditional editing suite. Its best-known feature, Enhance Speech, strips background noise and room echo from voice recordings and makes them sound as if they were captured with a studio microphone.
The 2026 release, Enhance Speech v2, is a substantial rework. Instead of just removing noise, it performs advanced source separation: you can independently adjust or remove background noise, isolate the dialogue, and raise or lower background music with sliders, then download separate audio stems for speech, noise and music. A new Room Modeling option keeps the natural acoustic character of a space rather than flattening it, and the transformer-based inpainting model rebuilds missing phonemes.
The Studio side of the product now accepts multitrack audio and video uploads with automatic syncing, so podcast and interview recordings from several sources can be aligned and enhanced together.
Pricing is now freemium. The free plan costs nothing but is audio-only with no video, no bulk uploads, files capped at 30 minutes and 500 MB, a one-hour-per-day enhancement limit, and Studio downloads restricted to 30-minute projects, twice a day. Premium is $9.99/month or $99.99/year with a 30-day trial, adding video (MP4/MOV), batch uploads, adjustable speech/music/ambience strength, files up to 1 GB, up to four hours a day, unlimited Studio downloads, speaker-separated stems and Adobe Express Premium design tools.
The main limitation is that the features most people want at scale, video, long files and bulk processing, sit behind Premium, and the free daily caps are easy to hit in a real workflow.
It suits podcasters, interviewers, video creators and anyone who records voice in imperfect rooms and wants clean results fast; the free tier is fine for occasional short clips, while regular producers will need Premium.
