About Adobe Podcast
Adobe Podcast (formerly Project Shasta) is Adobe's AI-powered audio enhancement suite. Its flagship feature, Enhance Speech, uses AI to remove background noise, room echo, and audio artifacts while boosting voice clarity — transforming recordings made on laptop microphones or in noisy environments into studio-quality audio. The tool works remarkably well: you upload an audio file and download a dramatically improved version within seconds. Adobe Podcast also includes a full web-based recording platform with automatic transcript generation, a multi-track podcast editor, and chaptering tools. The Enhance Speech feature is available for free with limits; Adobe Podcast for teams is included in Creative Cloud. In 2026, Adobe added AI-powered music generation for podcast background tracks.
