How well does it handle Spanish?
This is one of the engine’s strongest languages — expect clean, publishable text from clear audio.
Spanish from Colombia, Mexico, Argentina and Spain is transcribed by the same model — no dialect setting to choose; leave the language on auto.
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 speaker labels follow 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.

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?
No. The transcript comes back in the language that was spoken, so Spanish audio produces Spanish text. Captions and every export stay in the source language; translation is not something Whipscribe does.
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?
A pack from $4 (500 minutes) opens the full transcript. Preview any transcript instantly with no signup; a pack from $4 opens the full transcript, no account needed. After that, one-time credit packs: $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes or $24 for 5,000 minutes, and credits never expire.
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.
