Nov 4 Adobe: VoCo Sneak Peek at Adobe MAX

Adobe has unveiled a new project at Adobe MAX called "VoCo" that will allow audio and video editors to "photoshop voiceovers". Watch this hilarious demo of VoCo, seen here in Adobe Audition, converting text to speech based on recorded dialogue. THIS IS NOT A ROBOT VOICE!

VoCo allows you to change words in a voiceover simply by typing new words. Presented live during the Adobe MAX 2016 Sneak Peeks, co-hosted by Jordan Peele. —Adobe

Remember, you can save your glitchy distortion effect as a preset to use over and over again.
