How to pronounce veo

product contested

vee oh /ˈviːoʊ/ mp3
or: vay oh /ˈveɪoʊ/

veo is most commonly pronounced "vee oh" (/ˈviːoʊ/). This is one of several readings in active use; the developer community hasn't converged on a single answer.

Google DeepMind's text-to-video model (Veo 3 / 3.1, 2025), used inside Gemini and Flow. Dominant English reading is VEE-oh; HowToPronounce gives /ˈviːoʊ/. A VAY-oh variant exists, echoing Spanish "veo" (I see). No official creator pronunciation is documented, hence contested. STRESS: VEE-oh.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.

Hear it from the command line

$ say-it veo # primary × 3 + audible "or: …" for each alternate
$ say-it --alt veo # focus on the first alternate
$ say-it --all veo # primary AND every alternate, each repeated
$ say-it --solo veo # primary only, no "or: …" tail
$ say-it --why veo # print the dict entry with source URL

Install the CLI: git clone https://github.com/anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce.git && cd pronounce && ./install.sh
