How well does it handle Spanish?
This is one of the engine’s strongest languages — expect clean, publishable text from clear audio.
Accents from Madrid to Mexico City to Buenos Aires are all handled by the same model — no dialect setting to choose.
Handles seseo/ceceo variation and regional vocabulary; punctuation and inverted ¿? come out correctly.
What you get
Speaker labels
Every voice in the recording is separated and labelled — works in Spanish the same as in English, because diarization listens to voices, not words.
Word-level timestamps
Each word is timed to the audio, which is what makes accurate Spanish SRT and VTT subtitle files possible.
Search & quote
The transcript is searchable in Spanish — jump to the exact second something was said and copy it with its timestamp.
Every export
TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX and JSON on every pack — no format paywall.
Who transcribes Spanish audio here
Interviews, sermons, podcasts and customer calls across Spain and Latin America.
Questions people ask
Do I need to tell it the audio is Spanish?
No — the language is detected from the first seconds of audio automatically. If a recording mixes Spanish and English, each part is transcribed in the language actually spoken.
Can I get English text from Spanish audio?
Yes. Alongside transcription in Spanish, the engine can translate the speech to English text in the same pass — useful for subtitling Spanish content for an international audience.
Does it work on Spanish video, not just audio?
Yes — upload MP4/MOV/WebM or paste a link; the audio track is extracted automatically and transcribed the same way.
How much does it cost?
The preview is instant with no signup. Credits are one-time purchases that never expire: $4 for 300 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes (about 36¢ per hour of audio).
Is this live captioning?
No — Whipscribe transcribes recordings, not live speech. Upload a file that already exists and the Spanish transcript is typically ready in about a minute per half hour of audio.
