Spanish to English
Translate Spanish video to English subtitles
Yes. Upload your Spanish video, choose English, and watch a preview of up to 20 seconds with English subtitles before you pay. You do not need to select Spanish: the spoken language is detected. Buy the full video for $3 or subscribe. The original audio stays, and you get the MP4 plus SRT and TXT files in both languages.
Upload a video in Spanish (Español), choose English, and download it with English subtitles burned in. The Spanish speech is detected, so you do not select it.
What you get back
- Your video as an MP4 with English subtitles burned into the picture.
- An English SRT file for players and platforms that take subtitle files.
- An SRT of the Spanish speech, so you have both sides of the translation.
- Plain TXT transcripts of both, for notes, articles, or search.

What the speech recognition has to deal with in Spanish
Spanish on video covers many regional accents, from Mexico and Argentina to Spain and the Caribbean. Fast conversational speech links words together, and the same thing has different words in different countries. The speech recognition writes the Spanish as spoken, and the English translation is made from that transcript.
- Regional vocabulary can change the meaning: a word that is everyday in Mexico can mean something else in Spain. Check lines that use slang or local terms.
- Spanish often drops the subject pronoun, so the English has to choose he, she, you or they from context. Check cues where the speaker changes who they talk about.
- Numbers and prices are easy to mishear in fast speech (cien, ciento, seiscientos). Check every amount, year and phone number.
- Usted and tú both become "you" in English, so the change in tone between them does not carry over. That is expected.
What to check in the English result
Check names, numbers and regional slang first. Most of the meaning is in those few cues.
