Photoshop For Audio: Adobe is Working on an Audio App that lets you Add Words Someone Never Said
Using your voice as a password just became a lot
less secure. But turning your friends' words
against them to ruin their lives with mischief just
got a lot easier. After less than half an hour of
listening in on your speech and vocal patterns,
Adobe's VoCo tool can imitate your voice and
make you say pretty much anything.
Demonstrated at the digital media giant's Adobe
Max 2016 creativity conference, the new VoCo
audio editing suite is basically Photoshop for
audio: a digital editing tool that can adjust a
hundred million different parameters of
whatever you're interpreting it with. In this case,
the media is audio, and if you can supply it with
20 minutes of content, VoCo will have enough
background to work with that it's possible to
alter sentences and speech by adding new words
just by typing them.
Motherboard makes the good point that in the
last few decades, Photoshop has been used for a
lot of unexpectedpurposes, including less than legal
projects — have you tried to edit an image of a
bank note in Photoshop recently? — and slightly
morally dodgy tasks like distorting the bodies of
women to meet and manipulate society's
expectations of them. Here's hoping that VoCo
has a few more noble uses in its wide open
future.
