What is Adobe Speech Enhancer?

Adobe Speech Enhancer is a free AI-powered audio enhancement tool developed by Adobe as part of its Adobe Podcast ecosystem. Its primary purpose is to dramatically improve the clarity and quality of spoken voice recordings—making them sound as if they were recorded in a professional studio, even when captured in poor environments.

Unlike traditional audio editors that require manual EQ tuning, noise reduction, and compression, Adobe Speech Enhancer uses advanced machine learning models trained on human speech to automatically remove background noise, echo, room reverb, and inconsistencies in vocal tone. The result is clean, broadcast-ready speech with minimal effort.

Adobe Speech Enhancer uses Adobe’s proprietary AI models to:

• Normalize vocal loudness

The output often resembles studio-recorded audio, even from low-quality microphones.
