Spanish to English audio translation: a short guide
How to translate Spanish audio to English
- Upload the recording or paste its link. Spanish is already set as the source and English as the target.
- Wait for the transcript. An hour of audio is usually ready in a few minutes.
- Read the English translation next to the Spanish original and fix names and numbers.
- Copy the text, or sign in to download it as TXT, or as SRT and VTT subtitles for a video.
Spanish accents and mixed Spanish and English
Spanish from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America is transcribed by the same engine, so you do not need to pick a country. Leave the source on Spanish rather than automatic detection if the speaker uses a lot of English words, so the first language stays fixed.
Recordings that switch between Spanish and English in one sentence are common. The transcript keeps the words as they were said, and the English translation covers the Spanish parts. Read those passages closely: they are where most mistakes happen.

Recordings, not live speech
This translates recordings: a voice message, a call, a lecture, a video. It does not translate a live conversation while you speak, so record first, then upload the file.
Machine translation is good for understanding a recording and for a first draft. For anything legal, medical or official, have a fluent speaker check it before you rely on it.
What it costs
Without an account, the first 30 minutes of a file are transcribed and translated free. A free account takes files up to 30 minutes, and your first file can run up to 60 minutes. Translating a finished transcript again from your dashboard works on your first file with a free account, and on every file with a paid plan, the Weekly Pass or a minutes top-up.
