New Features in voXover 1.1

Inspector
We've made managing your Session information and Section configuration even easier with our new Inspector. Here, you can configure Session information, Talent and Character names as well as your Section configuraiton for Recording, Taking and Take Naming.
Export Presets
You asked and we delivered! voXover now comes with handy export presets. You can configure specific export parameters for any number of clients or workflows and recall them at any time. This feature is a direct result of user feedback and our commitment to developing user-driven software.
Renamer
The new Renamer panel gives you access to voXover's powerful, token-based renaming features. The fact that it is now a panel allows you to keep it open at all times giving you quicker access when you need to rename your takes on-the-fly.
Searchable Keyboard Shortcuts
We've made our already powerful and fully customizable keyboard shortcuts even better by adding a convenient search field. No more hunting when you need to find and customize a single command quickly!
What Is voXover?
voXover is a truly unique and modern voice-over automation utility and batch-recorder for multimedia, video game, speaking dictionary and telephone voice-response production. It was designed and built in consultation with large multimedia and video game production companies. It was created specifically for projects that require large numbers of individual audio files to be recorded without error. Typically, using a multitrack recorder for such projects is simply not productive.
Simply put, voXover allows you to write or import a script and rapidly automate the recording of that script. The script can be displayed on voXover's unique teleprompter to the voice talent via your wired or wireless network. Sessions may be completely automated, completely free-form or anywhere in between. Takes are automatically created, named and annotated as configured in your script. Takes may also be filtered, sorted, organized, rearranged, renamed and exported at any time during the session.
voXover is incredibly flexible. Use voXover to create your scripts and break them up into manageable, hierarchical sections. There is no need to learn a proprietary markup language!
If you already have an existing script, you can use voXover's import utility to quickly import it. voXover is document-based, so you can return to your session at any time and resume where you left off. You may change the configuration of the session at any point. When your project is complete, you can rate your takes, rename them based on properties of the session, and export them as a relevant format. You can even trim and pad your takes automatically! voXover a solution tailor-made for users of Mac OS X: elegant and easy-to-use!
Attention VoicePro X Users!!! If you have been waiting for VoicePro X to catch up with the times, you now have a solution! Priced at less than half of Voice Pro X, we have gone a step further in offering crossgrade to voXover for $325 to owners of VoicePro X. Check out our online store for details.
A Novel Concept...
What You Need, When You Need It
Audiofile Engineering started in a studio, not a boardroom. Along the way, we realized one thing that plagued the world of audio software — inadequate end-user support. It has been our goal since day one to do everything we can to change this.
We take great pride in providing unparalleled technical support for our customers. Everything we do, even the process of developing our software, is done so with our customers in mind. We've gone to great lengths to improve our development workflow and quality control in order to prevent issues from happening in the first place. We've gone even further by implementing modern tools that allow us to support our customers better and faster than anyone else.
Introducing The Help Desk...
We had an idea — a big idea. What if a software application had everything it needed? Not just the features you need to get your work done, not just the bells and whistles and a pretty interface. What if we went even further? What if you could access all of our support resources IN the program? Now, that's an idea.
The Help Desk is totally unique to Audiofile Engineering software (patent pending, no kidding). Most Help menus launch your email application or your favorite web browser as soon as you choose an item. Not ours. Our revolutionary Help Desk gives you direct access to screencasts, documentation, release notes, software update options, license keys, debug options and support request submission and tracking. The Help Desk even tells you when manuals have been updated or new tutorials have been posted! You never have to leave the application, you always stay in the context of your work. You can submit your great feature request idea as soon as it comes to your mind without ever having to send an email or visit a website. It's a big idea, but we think it is an important one.

Made for Mac OS X
100% Pure Cocoa
Audiofile Engineering creates unique and high-quality audio software exclusively for Mac OS X. All of our applications are written in 100% pure Cocoa and make extensive use of core technologies in Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard. Because our software is written from the ground up in Cocoa, we are able to add features and fix issues significantly faster than other developers who are supporting legacy Carbon-based applications. As Mac OS X grows, so will our applications.
All of our applications make extensive use of Core Audio, Apple's powerful audio API, for a high-quality, superior audio experience.
Wave Editor, Sample Manager & Rax fully support and make extensive use of built-in Audio Units. Your favorite plugs by Universal Audio, iZotope, Audio Damage and others are welcome here.
Apple announced the transition to Intel processors in July of 2005. Our applications were Universal Binaries in July of 2005. Coincidence? We think not.
All of our applications support Mac OS X Leopard, the most impressive and powerful version of Mac OS X yet. Apple has done it again and we plan on putting many of the new features in Leopard to good use in the very near future.
We work well with others. Sample Manager is the only audio batch processor for Mac OS X to fully support AppleScript & Automator. Wave Editor 2.0 will also add extensive AppleScript and Automator support.
A perfect illustration of the power of pure Cocoa — advanced Multicore support in Leopard. Brace yourself for even better performance on your multicore Intel Macs.
One of Sample Manager's numerous actions uploads files automatically to your iDisk. In the very near future, all of our applications will allow you to back up Keyboard Shortcuts and other important settings to your iDisk.
Whether its Sample Manager's powerful SmartGroups or standard Open dialogs, we support Spotlight to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
Optimized for the Macintosh platform, Apple's OpenGL implementation powers many of Spectre's beautiful meters.
Spectre is the first audio application for Mac OS X to make extensive use of AUNetSend/Receive. voXover's unique teleprompter is published to networked voXover clients via Bonjour. No network configuration necessary.
