How do you translate Spanish to English audio?
To translate Spanish to English audio, open the file in the Spanish to English audio translator, which starts on Spanish into English, and press Translate. Every line comes back in English next to the Spanish, with the speaker and the time. Download the English text or subtitles, or dub it into English, in a native voice or each speaker’s own.
Translate Spanish audio to English in three steps
The English arrives as text first, so you read every line before a word of it is spoken.
Drop in the Spanish recording
A voice note from a chat app (OPUS, OGG or M4A), an MP3 or WAV, or a video such as MP4 or MOV. A video gives up only its sound, taken out in your browser. Recordings run up to 3 hours.
Read the Spanish and the English side by side
Each line shows what was said in Spanish and its English, with who said it and when. Correct a name, rename the speakers, or download the English transcript and subtitles straight away.
Dub it into English, or keep the text
Give each speaker a native English voice, or keep their own voice, and dub. The English MP3 keeps the recording’s timing, and the subtitles follow the dub.
Why use this Spanish to English audio translator
Spanish as people really speak it, English you can check line by line, and a dub that still sounds like the people in the recording.
Spanish from Mexico to Madrid, local words included
People in Mexico City say ahorita and neta, people in Buenos Aires say laburo and che, people in Santiago say cachai and yapa. The translation follows what the words mean, so neta me late reads as “honestly, I’m down” and los pibes as “the kids”, and English words dropped into Spanish, like delivery or refund, come through as they should.
Each speaker keeps their own voice in English
Speakers are told apart automatically. Switch on “Keep their own voice” and each English line is read, then turned into that speaker’s voice from the recording, so an interview still sounds like the two people in it. Or give each one a native English voice from the library.
English sized to the time the Spanish took
Spanish often runs longer than English, and sometimes shorter. Each English line is written to fit the time its Spanish line took, read a little faster only where it has to be, and placed where it was said. A line that would still run long is marked before you dub, and when you change a line later, only that line is read again, its credits shown on the button.
The kitchen, the street or the music stays
When a cooking video’s sizzle or a street’s traffic plays between the lines, it is separated from the voices and kept under the English ones, so the dub still sounds like the place it was recorded.
An English transcript, bilingual text and subtitles
Every translation gives a bilingual DOCX and TXT with the Spanish and the English line by line, and SRT and VTT subtitles timed to the recording. Text is all you need for a voice note or a call; subtitles suit a video.
English into Spanish with one swap
The same studio works the other way round: press the swap button and an English talk, lesson or product update becomes Spanish, with each speaker in a native Spanish voice or their own.
Spanish to English audio translator samples
Each sample is Spanish written for this page in the words of a different country, translated and dubbed by this tool exactly as it came out, plus one English recording made Spanish. Switch between the original and the dub at the same moment, and read both languages line by line.
Spanish to English audio translation, step by step
Which recordings translate best from Spanish to English audio
A close microphone and one person speaking at a time give the cleanest English. Voice notes, interviews, lessons and podcasts work well; a crowd talking over itself is the hardest case.
The studio starts on Spanish, so a recording that opens with music or a greeting in English is still heard as Spanish. Choose the language yourself only when most of it is in another one.
Translate a Spanish voice note
Save the voice note from the chat app (it usually arrives as OPUS, OGG or M4A) and drop it in as it is: the studio makes it ready on your device. Translating it takes 2 credits a minute, plus 1 credit for each started 10 minutes.
For a voice note, the English text is often all you need. Dub it when you want to hear it, for example to play it to someone who reads no Spanish.
Check the English before you dub it
A quick read turns a good translation into one you can share. Work in this order and it goes fast.
- 1Rename the speakers, so every line shows who says it.
- 2Check names, places and numbers against the Spanish, clicking a line’s time to hear it.
- 3Say any line marked as too long in fewer English words.
- 4Move a line the transcription gave to the wrong person.
Own voices or English voices
Keeping each speaker’s own voice suits interviews, family messages and anyone the listener knows. A native English voice suits a lesson or a podcast where a clear accent matters more than who is speaking.
When two speakers sound alike in Spanish, give them clearly different English voices, one higher and one lower.
Spanish names stay as they are in the English: Coyoacán, Corrientes or Sobremesa are read the way they are written.
Translate English audio into Spanish
Press the swap button in the studio and it translates English into Spanish instead: a product update, a lesson or a talk for Spanish speakers. The dub can be in a native Spanish voice or in the speaker’s own.
Each dubbed MP3 carries a machine-readable note that it was made with AI, and most platforms ask you to label AI voices when you upload.
