From the headline I was hoping someone finally built a system that transcribes interview footage and lets you edit the video by editing the text.

descript.com does this I believe

[adwi]

Wow, this is exactly what I was picturing! Thank you for sharing.

[anchpop]

Wow, that looks like exactly what I've been looking for.

What would happen if you insert a word into the text?

[ragebol]

The voice is cloned by a GAN and new audio is generated, of course!

[didgeoridoo]

This is pretty much exactly what Descript.com does with its “overdub” feature. You can even choose the emotion and intonation of the generated audio. It works freakishly well.

That’s a great idea! Hope someone build it

[serverQuestion]

didn't Adobe demo something like this?

[jtvjan]

Yes, Adobe Voco. They demoed[1] it once and then they never talked about it again.
