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.
Alternate readings you might hear:
/ˈveɪoʊ/Source: Google DeepMind — Veo
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.
