@markcwebster this looks incredible. It has the potential to change how the traditional story gathering, production and publishing workflow is currently. Our magazine records just about every interview, from wherever we are in the world. I have hard drives full of recordings waiting for the story to be slotted into particular issues. Mark, if you or @samdotdesign is willing, I'd be happy to help with the Q/A trials. Our magazine uses audio so much to support our print product, I can all ready imaging new endeavors this could open us up to. Another question, does this work with Spanish too? I sometimes record interviews in both English and Spanish (separately) and have been looking at opportunities for duolingo interviews. (Here's a recent example: (English) https://www.goodfruit.com/aylin-... (Spanish) https://www.goodfruit.com/es/ayl... Thanks!! -TJ

Yeah, we are working on something very similar, but does a lot more. It’s great to get validation on a product from one of the greatest creative industry leaders. This specific market is not overwhelmed with offerings yet, except from companies like Descript, Podcastle and a few others. However, each offers unique features that the others do not have, at the moment. Adobe has, by far, made the editing of new and existing live and recorded audio transcripts easier to perform. The addition of voice enhancements and single click invite interviews is a plus. It is nice to see Adobe, more so, now extending there expertise to target the casual creative market along with professionals. Creative Cloud Express is their most recent addition, a Canva competitor, now Shasta. Awesome. Many of these features are offered to developers from 3rd party services to integrate, nothing new. Beyond integration, the toughest part is the ability to sync, edit add background music and other “media” in realtime. We accomplished this in 5 days. We are building a tool that goes beyond this which will be offered as a more complete solution to create, edit, share, host and publish podcasts, stories, voiceovers and much more - effortlessly. Did anyone say video? Hmmm. Haha, you shall see. Will be posting real soon a link so that you guys can tryout for yourselves.

I’ve been requesting access for quite sometime now. Haven’t found any luck with Adobe folks responding to my requests.
