Platform and export notes
Inverted punctuation and how it affects cue splitting
Spanish opens questions and exclamations with ¿ and ¡. When a question runs across two subtitle cues, the opening mark belongs with the start of the question, not the line that carries the question mark, or the reader loses the cue that a question is coming.
Latin American and Castilian are not interchangeable
Vocabulary diverges (coche and carro, ordenador and computadora) and Castilian distinguishes the s and z sounds where most Latin American varieties do not. The transcript follows what was said; decide which variety your audience expects before you localise, because a Mexican audience reading Castilian vocabulary notices immediately.
Spanish text runs longer than English
Translated Spanish typically expands by 15–25% over the English source. Subtitles that were comfortable at 42 characters per line in English will overrun after translation, so re-check characters per line and reading speed after translating rather than assuming the timing still fits.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is Spanish video transcription?
VideoText transcribes Spanish with speech recognition. Accuracy varies with audio quality, accent, and overlap. Select Spanish before processing when you know the spoken language.
Does it work for Mexican, Argentine, and Spanish Spanish accents?
Yes. speech recognition was trained on a diverse Spanish corpus covering multiple regional accents including Mexican, Argentine, Colombian, and Castilian varieties. For heavily regional or fast speech, setting the language explicitly to Spanish improves accuracy.
Can I transcribe a Spanish video and translate it to English?
Yes. Upload your Spanish video, get the transcript, then click Translate and choose English as the target language. You get a translated version alongside the original Spanish transcript.
What are common use cases for Spanish transcription?
YouTube creators publishing to Spanish-speaking audiences, corporate training videos in Spanish, podcast transcription for Spanish-language shows, customer support call recordings, legal and academic interview transcription, and subtitle generation for Spanish content.
Can I generate Spanish subtitles (SRT) from a video?
Yes. Set the spoken language to Spanish, then use the Video to Subtitles tool. You get a timed SRT or VTT file in Spanish you can upload to YouTube, Vimeo, or burn into the video.

Yes. Free tier includes tool-specific free access. Sign up for free to try.
