In their own words
Adobe Podcast
Adobe Podcast is a browser-based set of tools for recording, transcribing, editing, and sharing audio. In Studio, users can record participants in their browsers, with each person’s audio saved continuously and kept on a separate track. Studio can also import multitrack audio and video, and lets users edit by deleting words from a transcript. Enhance Speech reduces noise and artifacts, adjusts pitch and volume, and normalizes audio. Studio works only in Google Chrome on desktop; Enhance Speech supports recent Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox on desktop and mobile. The free plan allows audio files up to 30 minutes and 500 MB, with one hour of use per day and two Studio project downloads daily, each up to 30 minutes. Firefly Pro costs $19.99 a month and adds Premium access, video enhancement, bulk uploads, unlimited Studio downloads, and original speaker-separated recordings. A 30-day free trial of Premium features is available.
Cleanfeed
Cleanfeed is browser-based audio software for long-distance professional work, including interviews, recording sessions, podcasting, radio, voice work, film and television, and commercial production. All versions provide unlimited recording time, and audio is captured live rather than synced later. The free Lite plan supports two guests, one local audio source, and mono remote audio. Pro supports up to 32 guests and records each guest on a separate track, with a limit of 32 tracks or 16 stereo tracks. It adds stereo remote audio, four local sources, privacy controls, markers and notes, playback tools, audio repair, and auxiliary outputs. Cinema supports up to 16 guests and includes DCI 2K 60fps centre-stage video, Gallery, and dedicated server capacity. The studio runs in a browser; Chrome on Mac and Windows and Chromium on Linux are preferred. Audio export is WAV, and video recording is available. Cleanfeed says audio is end-to-end encrypted and that it does not retain media copies on its servers. Safari on iPhone and iPad is in beta for guests only; hosting from those devices is not supported.
