Transcribe Spanish Audio and Video to Text

Turn Spanish recordings into editable Spanish text with AI transcription, then prepare transcripts or subtitles.

Taption is an online tool that uses AI to transcribe Spanish audio and video into Spanish text. Taption groups speech into meaningful subtitle segments, making subtitles easier to read and helping preserve context when translating into other languages. After signing in, you can edit the Spanish transcript and export TXT or PDF documents, or SRT or VTT subtitles. You can also translate the reviewed transcript into English and create bilingual Spanish–English subtitles when needed.

Spanish is preselected. Upload audio or video to get started.

What to check in a Spanish transcript

Accent marks, ñ and proper names

Review names such as Lucía against a reliable spelling reference. Accent marks can also change meaning: “sí” and “si” are different words. Check the text in context, including opening question and exclamation marks, before publishing captions.

Regional vocabulary

A recording may use “ordenador” or “computadora”, “vídeo” or “video”. Preserve the speaker’s meaning and choose a consistent editorial style. The available setting is Spanish (Spain); test your own recordings rather than assuming identical results for every regional variety.

Spanish mixed with English

Product names and English phrases can appear inside a Spanish interview. Listen closely at each language switch and correct unfamiliar terms. Selecting Spanish does not establish reliable recognition of arbitrary bilingual speech; test the mixed-language passages before a larger job.

A Spanish interview, with the details intact

Check the accent marks in names, the ñ in ordinary words, and the question marks around a question. The illustrative text below is selectable; the downloadable SRT shows the same wording as timed captions.

A readable transcript

TXT · PDF

Use plain text for editing or reuse, or a PDF for a document you can read and share. A transcript document is different from a timed subtitle track.

Timed subtitles

SRT · VTT

Keep caption text and timestamps together for a video platform or editor. Review the timing and line length against the recording.

A finished video or editing timeline

MP4 · FCPXML

Export a video with visible subtitles, or use FCPXML in a compatible post-production workflow. Video quality and available export options depend on your plan.

Spanish transcription or Spanish-to-English translation?

Transcription turns Spanish speech into Spanish text. For English text or subtitles, transcribe in Spanish, review the source, then choose English in the translation workflow. Check idioms and regional vocabulary in context: a literal translation may not communicate the intended meaning.

Which setting should I choose for Spanish audio?

Choose Spanish (Spain) in the recording-language selector. For a recording from another Spanish-speaking region, try a short representative clip and check local vocabulary, names and speaker changes before starting a larger batch.

Will a Spanish transcription automatically be in English?

No. Spanish transcription produces Spanish text. To get English output, review the Spanish transcript and select English in the translation workflow. Translation uses minutes separately from transcription.

Can I review accents and punctuation in the Spanish text?

Yes. The transcript is editable, so you can correct accent marks, ñ, names and punctuation while checking the recording. Review words in context rather than treating every visually similar spelling as interchangeable.

Can I transcribe Spanish mixed with English?

Test a short passage that includes the language switches you expect. Review English names and phrases carefully. The Spanish setting should not be treated as a guarantee for all bilingual recordings or regional accents.

How do I export Spanish subtitles?

Review the Spanish text and timing, then export SRT or VTT for a caption track. For subtitles that remain visible in the video, use the subtitled MP4 workflow. Check line breaks and reading time before publishing.

What should I review in a Spanish-to-English translation?

Check names, idioms, numbers, regional expressions and technical terms against the reviewed Spanish source. Read the English subtitles at playback speed and adjust segmentation where a translation needs more space.
