Translate English Audio to Spanish

What comes back from an English recording

Choose Spanish and keep "Audio and text output" switched on, and the job returns four files you can download separately:

Spanish audio

An M4A with the Spanish speech laid over the music and room sound of the original

Spanish text

The full Spanish translation, ready to paste into a newsletter or a web page

English transcript

What was said in the original, for checking any Spanish line against it

Spanish subtitles

SRT and VTT files timed to the original speech

Switch "Audio and text output" off for the Spanish text and subtitles alone, at 1 credit per minute instead of 50.

English recordings Spanish speakers need to hear

Which Spanish you get

The language list offers Spanish (Latin America) and Spanish (Spain) as well as plain Spanish. For US audiences, pick Spanish (Latin America): the variant shapes the translation's vocabulary, such as car (carro or coche) and computer (computadora or ordenador). There is no separate setting for formal or informal address, so have someone from your audience check whether listeners are addressed as usted or tú, and whether that fits a school letter, a clinic or a church. The variant changes the words, not the voice's accent. Fix the wording in the Spanish text if it matters; the voice isn't regenerated from edited text, so for audio that must be exact, edit and re-record or accept the draft as it is. The copied voices keep each speaker's own timbre, so an English speaker's accent may still be heard in the Spanish.

Spanish takes longer to say

Spanish usually needs more syllables than English for the same meaning. Each Spanish line is placed where the English line was spoken and sped up by at most 1.15× when it runs long, so a brisk English narrator can produce Spanish that sounds hurried. If you are recording the source yourself, leave short pauses between sentences and speak a little slower than usual; text expansion in translation explains why this matters for every target language that runs longer than English.

Voices, music and sung intros

Up to 8 speakers in a file are told apart, and each gets a Spanish voice copied from about 10 seconds of their own clean speech. Someone who speaks for less than about 3 seconds is given the copied voice of a similar-sounding speaker, or a stock voice close to theirs. There is no voice picker. Background music and jingles are separated first and mixed back under the Spanish. Songs with lyrics are the exception: the singing is separated along with the speech, so a sung intro may vanish from the music bed or come out as spoken Spanish. Trim lyric-heavy intros before uploading and add them back afterwards. Background music in translated videos explains the separation step.

Long files and other tools

Files can run to 2 hours and are paid per minute from credits, with no subscription. Dedicated English-to-Spanish audio pages from other vendors set different limits; as checked on their own pages on 5 October 2026, Adobe Firefly's audio translation takes up to 5 minutes per file, and ElevenLabs' English-to-Spanish upload tool takes files up to 1 minute. Both offer many more target languages and their own voice options. If your recordings are long, file length is the first thing to compare.

Costs

Spanish audio costs 50 credits per minute (5¢) with a 2-minute minimum, billed per started minute. The 100 free credits from signing in with Google cover one Spanish audio file up to 2 minutes long. Top-ups are charged in Indian rupees at the day's exchange rate through Cashfree Payments (UPI, cards or netbanking), about ₹96 for 1,000 credits.

Before you publish the Spanish version

1. Listen to the first two minutes at normal speed and confirm each speaker sounds like themselves.
2. Have a Spanish speaker check names, numbers, and any medical, legal or safety terms in the Spanish text.
3. Listen for hurried passages where the Spanish was sped up, and shorten the English source there if you can re-record it.
4. Get consent from everyone whose voice is copied, and say that the Spanish version is AI-translated. AI voice ethics covers disclosure and consent.

Using the tool on this page

• The spoken language is detected automatically; you select the output language — the spoken language itself for an untranslated transcript, or another language for a translation. Files can be up to 2 hours long.
• Audio is sent over HTTPS in small chunks and deleted with its transcripts within 30 minutes of delivery (how files are protected).
• You can download the translated audio (voice over your original music and effects) as M4A, a transcript and subtitles (SRT and VTT). Every output, step and limit is explained on the audio translator page.
