Yes! Generating, transcribing and adding subtitles to your video is free to use for everyone. Only downloading subtitles as SRT files and translating to other languages requires a PRO Plan subscription.

What are closed captions?

Closed captions verbalise every audio in a video, like coughs, barks or other sound effects.

How can I translate captions into another language?

Easily! Firstly, auto-generate captions in the original language of the video. When your captions are ready, click the ‘Translate’ tab. In the dropdown menu, select the language you want it translated to. Count to three, and they should be ready! (Please note that this is a PRO feature, and requires upgrading to the PRO Plan).

Frequently Asked Questions

What they say about VEED

Veed is a great piece of browser software with the best team I've ever seen. Veed allows for subtitling, editing, effect/text encoding, and many more advanced features that other editors just can't compete with. The free version is wonderful, but the Pro version is beyond perfect. Keep in mind that this a browser editor we're talking about and the level of quality that Veed allows is stunning and a complete game changer at worst.
