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.

Congratulations from Türkiye!
The dev has released some other apps, though I downloaded BlindRun and couldn't play it with VoiceOver enabled. I did get some great scores with VoiceOver disabled, but the game lacks some essential features like Game Center achievements, gradually increasing difficulty/speed, and high-quality sound effects. This one (ZEdit) is great though. I wrote a review on the App Store with suggestions for various improvements and features, including broader localization (Chinese, Russian, etc.), selection-based and AI-powered noise reduction, reverb and EQ with more detailed settings. So let's see whether the developer implements them. The app is great as-is though, and it eliminates the need for a computer for basic tasks. I use GoldWave Infinity on my iPhone but apparently ZEdit will replace it.
Reverb, EQ and noise reduction
I wonder what AI has to do with these functions, just make them accessible.
What?
AI can adapt to the noise profile and extract the noise without introducing unwanted artifacts or damaging anything that should be preserved.
Can I just do audio editing?
Can I just edit audio or do I have to have video? I like the idea but I'm just curious. I have always liked Hokusai, but I want to get this one. It sounds nice.
There's something even better you can do.
Just have a look at the description and you'll know the answer in a second. Believe me, posting this question must've taken much longer.
re: Can I just do audio editing?
As the previous poster once said, the description says all you need to know, but in one word, yes.
my experience with Zedit
HHi,
I played with ZEdit, and I was able to import a test video into ZEdit, and I was able to remove background noise, and remove silence, and it worked very well. You also have the options to save, as well as export and share the finished video. Overall, very accessible! I haven't got a chance to play with merging clips yet but will soon.
congratulations and suggestions:
Hello guys!
I really loved the app. I’d like to make a few suggestions:
Support for the Portuguese language.
The ability to hear exactly what we’re passing through in the audio while trimming and moving along the waveform, similar to Reaper’s scrubbing feature.
I also noticed a small bug: when I click “Preview,” the current screen closes, which doesn’t allow me to continue editing. I then have to exit, return to the trimming screen, and start editing again.
I hope I haven’t confused anyone.
