If you’re unfamiliar with Adobe XD, it is a platform for developers to design and test UIs and applications. Back in August, the service was integrated into Microsoft Teams, allowing developers to collaborate more efficiently. Adobe says the Sayspring team has been working on smoothly integrating voice support since joining the company. The result is a developer experience that is not too far away from any other app creation. Speaking to TechCrunch, Sayspring founder Mark Webster explained how the creation of voice support evolved:
Adobe admits it needed the expertise of Webster and his team as previous attempts to integrate voice failed. Indeed, the company says customers were expanding to voice experienced and it needed to keep pace. It is clear bringing voice to Adobe XD was a major component in the purchase of Sayspring.
