What they are
Audacity
Audacity is a free, open-source desktop application for recording, editing, and processing audio on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Podcasters, musicians, and voice-over artists use it to cut recordings, apply effects, and export to common formats. It covers the fundamentals well, though its interface feels dated compared to modern DAWs and it lacks native multi-track timeline editing for complex productions.
Veed.io
Veed.io is a browser-based video editor aimed at content creators, marketers, and social media teams who need to produce polished videos without installing software. It handles trimming, subtitles, screen recording, and basic AI voiceover in one interface. The auto-subtitle tool is genuinely fast and accurate enough for most English-language content, though accuracy drops on accents and technical vocabulary.
