Adobe Lightroom Mobile is a piece of photography software with a broad range of users, from experienced professional photographers to amateur hobbyists. In order to make the user experience more amenable to the latter group, Adobe Lightroom Mobile will soon be equipped with voice-control functionality.
Though more serious photographers will likely want to stick to the manual features in order to handle granular editing, voice control is ideal for people who have a limited amount of experience with the system and are happy with broader edits. For example, Lightroom Mobile allows users to do things like cropping, mirroring, and even posting to social media with their voices.
The Lightroom voice-recognition software understands natural language. That means that, rather than having to memorize exact commands, users can control it using casual phrases.
