VEED - Captions for videos Reviews

by Tayg1831

VEED did the majority of my video perfectly. However when it came down to trying to get a couple of words accurate & adjusting the timing of which they were highlighted on the subtitle…completely frustrating.

I don’t see an area to adjust the times of highlights and it’s just really frustrating because it should be way easier to fix those mistakes.

Good app overall, but lack of details makes it kinda pointless. Because the video has to be perfect, and VEED didn’t allow that for me with certain words being highlighted before they’re even said in the video.

And if there’s something I’m missing, it’s still an issue because it shouldn’t take someone new to VEED all day to figure it out.

3 reasons why I don’t really like this app (no hating! 😁)

1: When I saw what goggle said about VEED and the reviews I thought I would really like VEED. When I first went into this app I liked it for a little bit (I got it today btw) but when I tried to get the captions for a video, it wouldn’t load. So I tried again but it still wouldn’t. (This only happened once and didn’t happened again) but after that, I was making an edit, and I also have another editing app called, “Vivacut” I exported the thing (I don’t have the pro) and the water mark was HUGE. So I tried to get it onto Vivacut but it wouldn’t go on there.

2: It doesn’t give you options of texts and all that. For me at least it only give me caption stuff. So I don't know how to use VEED.

3 (last reason): I have an iPad, and it doesn’t take up like all of the screen. It only takes up a bit of it. It makes it harder to type.

(Have a great day or night this app! ❤️❤️)

Since a recent update, i’m now looking for a different captions app. This used to be my go-to, but there’s a big problem where it forces a line separation after any comma, even overriding your 1-line restriction setting to put anything after the comma below whatever’s before it. I need to caption full sentences that someone can comfortably read, on horizontal videos. This is no longer possible for sentences with commas. We need to be able to control the length of lines anyway. Their watermark is pretty obnoxiously big and colorful and really distracts from your video if you don’t go thru the pain of working around it. On the plus side, it has more personalization features and fonts than some competitors and i would’ve recommended it before this comma issue was introduced.

The good: it captures most of what is being said or sung. Lots of options to make it visible and clear. Pretty easy to use.

The bad: you cannot adjust or edit the timing and placement of text. It seems like a basic thing, but if the this app AI didn’t pick up what you said, and you write it in, there is no way to time it so that it shows correctly or in time. It’ll either show connected to the last word this app was able to capture, or bundle it with the next set of words.

It seems like a very basic thing, but once this app puts the text, you really can’t adjust what it finds. That’s really toug, as it misses words and isn’t always right. For $40, that should definitely be there.

Been using VEED for over 2 months with no issues but suddenly since a few days ago I started getting glitches and error messages. I reinstalled VEED last time it happened but this time VEED won’t stop glitching out no matter what I do. I get this error message: “ErrorResponse: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made.”

Guess I’ll have to look for another caption app.

VEED is exactly what it supposed to. It even has a free version. If you don’t mind the water, Mark, I only wish that it had a one time pay feature. That would be the only reason why I would give it four out of five stars not five out of five stars if it had a one time pay feature like I could pay 20 bucks just to buy VEED for the rest of my life that I would give it five out of five stars but since it has a monthly subscription or weekly subscription four out of five stars

This is a great caption app that’s very easy to use, but it crashes once in a while when I try to split the captions and it can be frustrating at times. Otherwise everything else works fine

by Philgoodlife

I like VEED a lot, but for instance, the pink karaoke (my favorite setting) says you can customize it when you actually can’t. You can’t change the color, or make it a bold font… the second you do, it just becomes white text. So lots of glitches and if they can get on them quicker, then I would give it a 5.

by Lindsaybenz

I have tried so many captions apps, and honestly this one saves me a lot of time in frustration that the other apps have cost me. Whether the other apps have glitches, they just don’t transcribe me properly, or formatting doesn’t give us many options, this one is much better than all of the rest for 100 reasons

by Jbrazier1024

I honestly expected that I would have to write in a lot of corrections manually. But when I did my first video with this app, I didn’t do ANY corrections! Second video, I made one correction over 1 minute that was PACKED with dialogue. The customization options are very extensive.
The paid subscription is not too expensive and honestly worth it.
Very impressed!

by Beanikins

I can’t believe this is a free app! It’s super easy to use and it makes high-quality captions that are easy to see. I’m having trouble that my captions sticker is missing in my Instagram account and Instagram isn’t fixing it, so I needed another fix - I found it. Thank you for providing this wonderful app!

by 12 Ukulele😅

Amazing app. It is very well done. One thing I may ask you to add, is an audio description feature so that people who are visually impaired like me, can upload a video and have VEED put an audio description feature. If you would do that, then that would be grateful to everyone in this entire world. Please consider that a new update. Thank you for your cooperation. Have a nice day.

by Michelle Onianwa

I usually don’t write reviews (this is literally my first one) but OH MY GOODNESS VEED is SO easy to use. It puts the caption really quick and is really accurate, but even if it messes up, it is so easy to change! This is a timesaver if I’ve ever seen one and it’s completely free! The creator(s) of VEED need to give themselves a big pat on the back. Definitely recommend!

by Coy N

I’ve been use it VEED for such along time now and it’s awesome, I wouldn’t recommend any other app, it’s free, it has a lot of customization options, I could go on and on.
But recently it just stopped letting me upload my video and it says theirs and error or something maybe you could fix it?

This is super helpful, it helps with capturing everything said on the video transcribe into txt…now if we could be able to take snips of the video to place in each part of the process for taking Process Notes and steps for training notes, or Saving into OneNote. For organizing all notes in categories based on the content of the video.

One feature to add is Adding a Title of each video - so you’re not having to retype it again and again when sending as a txt file, and then again when sending video file. (This keeps the accuracy of matching video to txt files once saving from phn to pc.

Lifesaver…I was struggling with absorbing all the training videos for work. This will allow me to place the txt into steps for process efficiency.

Can you capture voice recognition to show when different person is speaking on the video, in the txt file. To flow better!

Bravo Thank you for all your efforts of making learning easier.

Trying to utilize my time more efficiently when saving my notes to txt with every video, as it’s happening. Thank you again!

So I downloaded some other apps that would give me captions and I tested them to see if they would pay me money to put the video in my camera roll and then this was the last one and it actually let me download my videos let me change it

by Swim'n Bird

As funny as this may sound. I would love an optional ability to purchase it fully as like an early adopter? I would hate for it to suddenly be a subscription randomly one day, I’d like to be able to pay a 1 time fee to own it forever guaranteed :)

I think this app Captions is the best and easiest app for converting Arabic speech into Arabic text. But its Arabic fonts are limited, so we hope that you will add Arabic Naskh fonts such as Amiri font to encourage Arab writers and poets to publish their works in Arabic Naskh fonts, or that you allow us to add Arabic fonts from external sources. Just as Blink Captions app allows us to add Arabic fonts from external sources, but unlike you, it’s not supports Arabic language, starts from the left while it should start from the right.

by SORRY2PARTY

Very easy to scroll the timeline of my video, edit my speech and add emphasis bubbles that pop! It’s easy and intuitive and I feel so incredibly appreciative that it’s free right now. Anything less than a 5 star review is criminal! Thank you for VEED!!

by Dianabriceno

I’ve tried literally DOZENS of subtitling tools and this one is the next best thing next to having an actual human transcribe what you’re saying.

For context, I’m a content marketer and creator so I’ve tried my fair share of apps and they’re usually like 30-50% accurate.

I’d roughly say this app was about 95% accurate. Any mistakes were really easy to fix in the text editor. I was able to add subtitles really quickly in my workflow. Upload/record, wait a few seconds, quick edits, pick a style of captions, and you’re all done in in just a few clicks.

Definitely gonna be using this for my IG Reels and TikToks especially since the IG captions sometimes come out blurry and are usually only like 70% accurate.

Highly recommend and can’t wait to see what else gets added to VEED in the future 🥰

I just downloaded VEED and started my seven day free trial which I will be purchasing for the year. I uploaded one video and was able to do that on my iPad but I’m trying it on my iPhone and it keeps freezing and not working.

by Dchahine

I use VEED to translate my videos into another language. However, the translation is not always accurate. Sometimes it’s too far and not related at all to the words said. Second, I wish there would be an improvement to VEED function where we can add words and time them with the speech manually since some of the sentences translated to another language are longer/shorter than the original spoken words.

One of the FEW apps out there that actually let you use their product for free. Even the free version lets you make MANY adjustments to your work. We’ll done this app for not being greedy and self serving. Instead you went with allow potential customers to use a slightly limited version for free.
The product is amazing and is VERY simple to use and make changes. ONE OF MY FAVORITE APPS!! This will stay on my devices for sure. Give it a try, you will be both impressed and satisfied with the end product!

by Sapphireanhydrite

I was trying to translate a video. I tried two other apps before this one. The first one never finished loading therefore I never got any translation whatsoever. The second one didn’t offer a Korean to English translation. I tried Translating the video on my own with my basic knowledge of Korean, but it just didn’t make sense. Uploaded the video and honestly it made much more sense than my own translation. 😭 I wanna say it’s accurate because its translation had all the right words I knew that were being said in the sentence, just more clearer to understand!!

Ok so like I was using picsart, (One of the best editing apps go try it out) There was this auto captions thing, it looked so cool, but there was 2 things that were bad, 1 The captions did not match a thing I said, and 2 it costed money, I got mad, then I looked at apps for auto captions, then I saw this and I fell in love with it! ❤❤❤ I love how you can edit the captions, But that's not the best part, Everything is Free! Yes you heard it, Free! You can buy stuff But it is mostly free! Whoever needs auto captions, This is the best! 99 Percent Free! I Love it ❤ And it's perfect! You also don't have to sign in! All You need is a device and your ready to go! ★★★★★ 5 Star Perfect Amazing Super Fantastic Cool Best Wow So Good App!

The quality of voice output after removing background noise, the video resolution, the simplistic ease of use, make this app a great choice for general video adjustments. The foreign language translation feature needs some tweaking, probably due to the source of the translation - it is not accurate enough. Additionally, a cellular version similar to the web-based version would be a nice upgrade option in the future.

by Wasouskii

I just want to say thank you so much for VEED, it’s easy to use and the best part is, I don’t have to pay an arm and leg just to use it! Great for content creators just getting started! Thank you!!

by EnKoreMuZik

As an artist that makes content it can be pretty time-consuming to have to type down all my lyrics into a different app. This literally gave me better results than manual work. I’m not mad at the AI.

by Flickerflame

Thank you! The free version is giving me exactly the kind of options I was looking for - plenty of adjustments, accurate dictation, font styles, sizing, colors, alignment, & formats. Thank you so very much.

by Phillipgonzales

I’ve only used this once, but compared to the other apps I’ve tried this one is just right. Clean and intuitive interface, good quality transcriptions WITH proper punctuation, and a nice set of style options. Thanks!

by Jorge Lanzas

VEED ROCKS! It does the job, super easy and intuitive interface, they keep improving it consistently and it’s stable enough that I’ve never had any issues! And FREE?!??! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? If you do short form videos, Stop playing yourself and get it!

by Mr Reverse Pro

I’d been looking for a captioning software as I do several vids a week. My vids are fro 1-5 minutes long and typing the transcripts was something I wanted to do. this app is great for auto captioning. Highly recommend it.
