Enhance Speech
Freemium
Enhance Speech is Adobe Podcast’s web-based AI audio filter for reducing noise and echo in spoken recordings. It helps podcasters and video creators improve recorded dialogue without needing a perfect microphone or recording environment.
What is Enhance Speech?
Enhance Speech is a web-based AI audio enhancement tool from Adobe Podcast. It reduces noise and echo in spoken recordings to make dialogue sound closer to a professional podcast recording. The tool works after recording, so users can improve audio captured without a perfect microphone or recording environment.
The free plan supports audio-only enhancement, one file at a time. The Adobe Firefly Pro plan adds video support, bulk processing, enhancement-strength controls, and higher file and daily usage limits.
What can Enhance Speech do?
Audio and video support
The free plan enhances audio only; the Firefly Pro plan also supports video files, including MP4 and MOV.
Bulk upload queue
Firefly Pro users can upload multiple files and process them through an automatic queue instead of handling each file individually.
Adjustable enhancement strength
Firefly Pro users can balance a studio-style sound with more of the recording’s natural environment ambience.
Expanded processing limits
Firefly Pro supports files up to two hours and 1 GB, with up to four hours of enhanced speech per day. The free plan allows files up to 30 minutes and 500 MB, with up to one hour per day.
Use Cases
“Repair a home-recorded podcast”
Use post-recording enhancement to reduce room echo and unwanted noise when the episode was captured without a dedicated studio or ideal microphone.
“Clean dialogue in video files”
Firefly Pro users can submit supported video files such as MP4 or MOV when spoken content needs improvement alongside the existing video.
“Process a batch of voice recordings”
Upload multiple files to the Pro queue for workflows involving several episodes, interviews, or other spoken recordings.
“Preserve a natural recording environment”
Use the Pro strength control when fully studio-like processing would be too strong and some of the original ambience should remain.
