Caption and translate a video with other people, subtitle by subtitle
veed.io
Transcribes a video into subtitles and lets you fix every word by hand.
VEED transcribes a video, lays the captions on the timeline, and gives you a text editor for corrections plus control over font, position and whether they are burned in or exported as SRT. It does the rest of the basics too — trim, crop, background removal, filler-word cleanup — but subtitles are what it does better than the free competition. Free exports are branded.
Questions
Free to use, but you have to register before it will do the job. The free plan watermarks exports and caps video length; unbranded output needs a subscription.
Yes. VEED sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
