Perhaps in the near future it will be extremely difficult for a person to prove that he did not utter certain words. Adobe at the Adobe Max conference showed the capabilities of the new program under the code name Project Voco – with its help you can change the words in the recorded speech and even add new phrases, which were originally not in the original.
To simulate the voice and nuances of the intonation of the technology, named after Photoshop for speech, you need to listen to a 20-minute recording of the conversation of the right person. The Voco program analyzes the audio for separate phonemes, and editing and adding words is carried out in the text field of the audio editor.
The developers believe that Voco will be useful for studios involved in audiobooks, podcasts and voice acting. In their conviction, it often happens that the final result does not suit the customer or buyers, and then the record needs to be made, but this process is extremely costly and not always implemented due to various circumstances (it is required to collect the equipment again, invite the command, at that timehow people may not coincide working graphs).
But the massive use of Voco can cause a wave of fraud using falsified audio texts, ranging from phone calls to the speech of politicians or public figures. While the project is at an early stage, perhaps over time, the company will be able to protect its technology from third -party intervention in order to prevent its use for criminal selfish purposes.
