zEdit — The Fully Accessible Video and Audio Editor Built for Blind Users zEdit is the world's first fully accessible video and audio editing app, designed from the ground up for blind and low-vision users. Most media editing tools rely on visual, drag-and-drop interfaces — making them nearly impossible to use with a screen reader. zEdit solves this at its core: every screen, every button, and every gesture is designed to work flawlessly with VoiceOver. You can now edit your videos and audio recordings completely independently, without needing anyone else's help. ACCESSIBILITY COMES FIRST In zEdit, accessibility isn't a feature added later — it's the foundation of the app. It has been tested with VoiceOver at every stage of development. - Flawless VoiceOver compatibility: Every interface element has a meaningful label, hint, and correct reading order. No button is ever announced as an "unlabeled button." - VoiceOver-safe loading overlay: While operations are running, screen reader focus is never lost or thrown to the wrong place; the app tells you out loud what is happening at each step. - Logical navigation order: Screens can be explored from top to bottom by touch, and elements appear in the order you expect. - Spoken feedback: You receive clear announcements when actions like saving, exporting, or trimming are complete. - High contrast and large touch targets: For low-vision users, interface elements are easy to distinguish and comfortable to tap. VIDEO EDITING FEATURES - Trim and cut videos: Precisely set start and end points to remove the parts you don't want. - Merge multiple clips: Combine separate video pieces into one seamless video. - Delete and reorder sections: Remove pieces from the middle of a video or change their order. - Adjust the sound: Change the level of the video's audio, mute it entirely, or add new audio. - Extract audio from video: Save a video's audio track as a separate file. AUDIO EDITING FEATURES - Trim and merge recordings: Bring audio files to the length you want and combine pieces. - Volume control: Adjust the loudness of your recordings. - Add music or other audio: Layer multiple audio sources on top of one another. - Format conversion: Export your audio files in common formats. EXPORTING AND SHARING - Optimized export: The export engine has been refined for speed and quality, so your projects are saved quickly and at high quality. - Quality options: Choose the balance between file size and quality that suits you. - Easy sharing: Send your finished projects directly to other apps or save them to your device. MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT zEdit offers full support in six languages. You can use the app in your own native language and hear all menus and VoiceOver announcements in your language. WHY zEdit? What a blind user needs is not an app that is merely "said to be accessible," but a tool that has truly been hand-tested with every detail considered. That is exactly what zEdit is. It is an app built by a blind developer for blind users. That is why it works in practice, not just in theory. Media editing is now everyone's right. With zEdit, your videos and audio are fully under your control. Download zEdit today and experience what independent, accessible media editing feels like.

About

Zeedit

Zeedit is a video editor built around one promise: what you see in the preview is what lands in the file. ■ PREVIEW = EXPORT Every rule in this app serves that one. Subtitles, fonts, layer order, motion, audio — whatever is on the preview screen comes out identical in the exported file. No "it looked right in the app." ■ AUTOMATIC SUBTITLES Speech becomes text, split into lines that follow the natural breath of the sentence, placed on the timeline word by word. Edit any line afterward. Choose from 10 fonts with shadow, outline and box background. Works with English and Thai, including Thai word segmentation — no spaces between words, and the line breaks still land in the right place. ■ AI HIGHLIGHTS (PRO · TRY 3 TIMES FREE) Drop in a long clip — Thai or English speech — and let AI find the best moments and mark them on the timeline. One tap turns a marked moment into its own short project, or turns every moment into shorts at once, and you keep editing and trimming as usual. ■ A TIMELINE YOU ACTUALLY CONTROL · Cut, split, delete and reorder clips · Insert a clip at the nearest seam — subtitles, layers, voiceover and music all shift with it, nothing loses sync · Remove silent stretches automatically · Lock the selected block so it stays put while you move around it · Haptic feedback at clip edges, so you can find a cut point by feel ■ IMAGE AND VIDEO LAYERS Stack photos, GIFs or video over your clip. Scale, rotate and move them freely. Attach a layer to its parent clip so they move together, or detach it and place it anywhere. Grab a still frame from a video and use it as a layer. ■ AUDIO · Record voiceover in the app, with input level visible before and during the take · Real waveforms on every audio track, so you can see where it is loud and where it is quiet · Add background music and set the level per clip ■ TRANSITIONS Fade to black, fade to white, zoom in, zoom out, slide, spin, flash. Set the length of each one individually. ■ EVERY ASPECT RATIO 9:16 vertical for short-form · 16:9 widescreen · 1:1 square · 4:5 vertical for feed posts ■ YOUR WORK STAYS PUT Drafts save themselves. If the system clears a source file from its cache, the app finds it again in your photo library on its own. Your edit is still there, whole. ■ EDITING HAPPENS ON YOUR DEVICE All video processing runs on your phone. Video files are never uploaded to a server, and nothing leaves your phone unless you use an AI feature: automatic subtitles send the audio out for transcription, and AI Highlights transcribes on your device and sends only the resulting text so the AI can choose the moments (if your device has no on-device speech model for that language, the app asks before sending audio). No sign-up. No account. Open it and start cutting. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
