Beta Testing #VoCo

Hi there,

After seeing the demo of the new #VoCo project, I'm quite interested in becoming a beta tester. I'm a Creative Cloud user, and I do freelance editing, mixing, composing and sound design work for major market public radio and podcast companies (New York Times, Gimlet, WNYC Studios). The VoCo tool looks like it could be a game-changer in the world of dialog editing, and I'm intrigued to learn more ASAP!

Many thanks,

David Herman

    Well, Audition's developers often scan this forum, so there's a good chance they'll see it anyway.


    Yep, they did.  I sent David an e-mail.

    For the record, as awesome as the VoCo demo was, it's still a research prototype and has not yet been planned for release in any product.

    I'm quite interested of to try voco in our work.

    I work with Audio Description in Sweden. Not only liveAD, but also recorded for movie, theatre and television. I think voco could be interesting for us and the visually impaired people that listen to what we done and do.

    Who can I contact to hear if it could be interesting to do a test, also in Swedish? Or is it only working with english and german languages?

    Further to what Durin said above, apparently it's a research prototype in a very early stage of development, so there is no platform for it to run on, and there may not be for some time.

    I would be very interested in testing this software as well!  Please feel free to use me for beta testing!

    I'm very interested is beta testing VoCo as well. I produce audio books full time and this product would be a very big help to us. Some of our readers have read 10 books and more making my current audio samples for some of my talent well over 30 hours of finished audio. I assume this will be added to Audition which I use most of the day every day producing audio books. When you get ready to test please let me know. I would be very happy to help move this product forward.

    Hi dhermanq or David Herman,

    when I heard about the Adobe Voco Project yesterday in television in Germany, I've been amazed about the possibilities of the software. I'm interested myself, of course, in participating in a Beta Testing of the upcoming software. I am a self employed web designer and software developer from Berlin, Germany.

    Could you send me any kind of contact details to the Adobe Developer Team of the Voco Software, to be enabled to participate in the ongoing process of the development?

    My email [email address removed by moderator - please don't post personal information on a public forum]

    Thanks in advance.

    This isn't an official reply, obviously, but as far as I'm aware, Adobe only offer beta programs for actual products, not development ideas. And with this particular one, I'm not sure which platform it might be applied to, as its use appears to fit in more than one.

    Thanks Steve. Any idea how to flag Adobe staff with this question?

    The technology already exists online via a few other companies I have seen

    and are quite realistically copying politicians voices etc.

    the main voco benefit is that it would be part of the adobe package and

    easier to integrate with current projects and be part of all access fee.

    The watermarks would make it stand out as more reliable than other companies.

    Basically anything adobe does gets much more press than other companies so

    they are very careful with their news releases

    That may well be another reason that they aren't doing it... and you have to ask: why are they only making it available online, and not selling it? I suspect that being able to trace usage may have something to do with it...
