I am a student, and when I miss a class, my friends send me audio recordings. If the recording is clear, it transcribes reasonably well. However, the transcription accuracy drops significantly when the audio quality is poor due to issues like reverberation or background noise in the classroom. I'm looking for software that can enhance the audio quality to improve transcription results. Which software would be best for this purpose?

something where you can sample the background noise and then use that for the program to filter it out would sometimes be good.
but usually with recordings, you need to put your mics closer to the speaker and just sit closer to the teacher or ask permission to put your recorder right next to the speaker on their table while they talk.

If you have a DAW and know a little on how to use it, then first a noise remover, then a gate, then compression.. It can all be done in Audacity

Check out iZotope RX's trial (https://www.izotope.com/en/products/rx.html (https://www.izotope.com/en/products/rx.html)) and see if it helps you enough. If you cannot put your recordings into a better shape with it, chances are that no other application will be sufficient to heal the recordings for your transcription services. So you will have to either ask for improved recordings or see if there are better transcription applications that can work with lower quality waves.-

Consider Spectralayers. Imo it's much much better than izotope rx, both for noise filtering, stem separation, speech isolation, and deverb.
It's definitely worth it. It's easier on the eyes too, and the different modules have much better UX than izotope rx. For example the de noise in RX is quite daunting and it can be hard to figure out how to set it up and on some material it simply doesn't work at all it just mutes the audio.
And you can't really work the settings in real time while listening to the audio, it's just weird.. I mean you can but it just feels off the way it works. Imo.
Spectralayers is much more intuitive and simpler to use with amazing results.
For your use the Speech isolation module would work wonders. It will deverb, filter out noise, gate, and make it sound really clear
