Adobe recently released Adobe Podcast Enhance V2. I took an old 38 second audio test podcast recorded using an iPhone 6 Plus on April 3, 2016 on a sidewalk in Edinburgh, Scotland. You can see and hear the effect of moving the slider from 0 to 100% enhancement as the mini-podcast plays. I’m impressed by what I’ve heard so far.

MobileViews mini-podcast 47 is a 2 minute recording testing the new iOS 18.1 Phone Call Recording feature. It is an iPhone to iPhone call. I used the 15 Pro Max’s built-in microphone to while Jon Westfall used the iPods Pro 2 mic. At the start of the recording both Jon and I heard a low volume “This call will be recorded” message.Duirng the call recording my display showed an audio volume graph, call duration, and a red button to stop recording without dropping the voice call. Despite also using an iPhone on his side, Jon did not see any recording indication after the brief start of call notification.

After the recording was stopped, an M4A audio file and an embedded text transcript was saved to the iOS Notes app. The transcript identifies the called party (Jon Westfall). A portion of the transcript is provided below. Note that it is not 100% accurate (not surprising).
