# Translate Spanish to English Audio and Video

Spanish to English audio translator: turn Spanish voice memos, interviews, and videos into English text and subtitles.

## How it works

1. Upload the Spanish voice memo, WhatsApp audio, podcast, interview, or video you want in English.
2. Spanish (spoken) and English (translation) are pre-selected for you.
3. Press Translate to English, read the English transcript, and download TXT, SRT, or VTT files.

## Turning Spanish recordings and videos into timed English text

Audo's Spanish to English audio translator converts Spanish speech from audio (MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, Opus) and video (MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI) files up to 2 GB into written English text and timed SRT or VTT subtitles, with the first 2 minutes free, 3 times a day, and no sign-up.

Each translated English passage stays anchored to the timestamp where the Spanish phrase was spoken, making it easy to follow a long interview, review a lecture or voice memo, or add English subtitles to a Spanish video without manually timing every line.

Tool: Translate audio (`translate_transcript`). The same tool's other pages: https://audo.ai/audio-translator.md. Price: 5 credits a minute — $0.05/min ($3.00/hr), with no subscription — of input for whole files, charged only when a job succeeds.

## Free API

```bash
curl -F file=@entrevista.mp3 -F source_language=es -F target_language=en -F format=srt https://audo.ai/api/try/audio-translator -D response.headers -o response.body
```

Read response.headers and response.body before naming media. Handle 202, 200 JSON and errors with the complete response client at https://audo.ai/docs/api?utm_source=markdown&utm_medium=agent#responses.

Free for the first 2 minutes of each file, 3 times a day per person, with no key or account. Uploads up to 10 GB, 2 at once from one address. The response is the result itself; a job that runs longer than about 30 seconds returns 202 with a link to check on it. With an API key (`-H "Authorization: Bearer $AUDO_API_KEY"`), omitting free runs the whole file with credits if the balance covers it, otherwise the free portion if quota remains. Set free=true to prohibit spending; for paid whole files use free=false with an approved positive max_credits. A free result cut short comes with finishUrl (and the Audo-Finish-Url header when the response is the file itself): give it to the person, who pays there (from $5, no sign-up), and the whole file runs; keep checking the status link, whose finishedBy names the whole-file job and its own status link.

## From an assistant (MCP)

Add https://audo.ai/mcp and sign in (setup for each assistant: https://audo.ai/setup.md). The tool is `translate_transcript`:

> Translates speech into another language, keeping each transcript segment's times, speakers, and order. Use it for translated text and subtitles. Reuses transcript_file_id or transcribes the recording first. It costs 5 credits a minute, or 2 with transcript_file_id, charged only if the job succeeds. Returns translated JSON, SRT, VTT, and TXT download links with approximate word times, or job_id for get_job if it takes longer.

Example: "Use Audo to translate Spanish audio from entrevista.mp3 into English subtitles."

## Questions

**Is audio translation free?** Audo translates the first 2 minutes free, 3 times a day. Whole recordings cost $0.05 a minute ($3.00 an hour), with no subscription. See pricing for packs.

**How do I translate Spanish audio to English with Audo?** Drop your Spanish recording or video at the top of the page and press Translate to English. This Spanish to English audio translator starts with Spanish pre-set as the spoken language and English as the output, transcribing the Spanish speech and translating each passage while keeping its timestamp on the recording.

**Can I translate a Spanish voice memo or WhatsApp audio message from my phone?** Yes. Save the voice note from WhatsApp or Apple Voice Memos as an M4A, MP3, OGG, or Opus file and upload it in your phone's browser. Clear single-speaker voice notes translate cleanest; if background noise is heavy, listen back to proper names and numbers while reviewing the English text.

**Does it work on Spanish from Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Argentina, and the US?** Yes. The recognizer handles Latin American, Caribbean, and Peninsular Spanish accents and turns regional phrasing into natural English sentences. For idioms, local slang, or formal legal and medical terms, keep the original Spanish recording handy to double-check nuances before publishing.

**How can I translate a Spanish video to English subtitles?** Upload the Spanish MP4 or MOV directly on this page and download the English SRT or VTT subtitle file. Because each English caption keeps the start and end time of the Spanish speech it translates, you can import the SRT into Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or YouTube Studio.

**Does this create an English voiceover or English text?** It produces written English text (TXT) and timed English subtitles (SRT and VTT) rather than a synthesized voiceover. Your original Spanish audio stays untouched so viewers or readers can follow the English translation alongside the real speaker.
