How to translate Spanish audio to English
Upload the Spanish recording
Set the language to Spanish or leave it on auto. If your plan includes translation, tick Transcribe to English too.
Check the Spanish first
The English is built from the Spanish transcript, so fix names and terms there before anything else.
Open the English
With Transcribe to English on, translation starts when the transcript is done and shows up in the Translate panel. You can also translate on request from the editor.
Save the English
Download the English as an SRT that lines up with the recording, ready for subtitles or a reading copy.
Spanish and English, side by side
- Speaker 1: Necesitamos el informe antes del viernes, si es posible.
- Speaker 1: We need the report before Friday, if possible.
- Speaker 2: Claro, te lo mando el jueves por la tarde.
- Speaker 2: Sure, I’ll send it to you Thursday afternoon.
Both versions of a line sit at the same second. Click either in the editor and playback jumps there, so you can check a doubtful phrase against the speaker’s own voice.
Spanish is free; English is on Unlimited
Translation and Transcribe to English come with Unlimited, $20 a month or $10 a month billed yearly, with fair use up to 720 hours a month.
Free still gives you the Spanish transcript, 3 files a day of up to 60 minutes, with speaker labels and every export format. Hour packs lift the file limits, but translation isn’t part of them. Details are on pricing.
Spanish from Mexico, Spain, Argentina and beyond
The speech models treat Spanish as one language, wherever the speaker is from. Mexico City, Madrid, Bogotá, Buenos Aires and San Juan all go through the same Spanish transcription. Local slang is where the English most often turns too literal, so give idioms a second look.
Each file is transcribed in a single language. If a conversation moves between Spanish and English, set whichever is spoken most; stretches in the other language may need fixing by hand before you translate.
Turn on Recognize speakers and each voice keeps its label in both the Spanish and the English. That helps when a relative and an interpreter take turns on one call, or a panel answers questions in order.

Where a fluent reader should check the English
- Idioms such as “estar en las nubes” can come out word for word.
- Tú and usted both become “you”, so the formality disappears.
- Names, places and brands translate best when the Spanish spells them right.
- For court papers, immigration forms or anything you’ll sign, have a qualified translator review it.
The Spanish transcription and the English translation both run on our own GPUs with open models. The audio and its text are never sent to any AI company. For Spanish without translation, see Spanish transcription; for other languages into English, see translate audio to English.
Spanish to English audio questions
