How to translate English audio to Spanish

  1. Upload the recording. Drag in an audio or video file: an interview, a voice message, a lecture, a family video, a meeting in another language.
  2. Pick the languages. English and Spanish are already selected. Change either one if your recording needs it, or set the spoken language to auto-detect.
  3. Read, copy or download. The translation opens first, speaker by speaker with timestamps. Switch to the original transcript or the AI summary, copy the text, or download it as .txt, .srt or .vtt subtitles.

Common questions

Which Spanish does the translation use?

The translation is written in neutral, widely understood Spanish rather than a specific regional variety. Vocabulary that differs by country (car, computer, cell phone) may not match the local word your audience uses, so a quick review helps for published material.

Is the translation formal or informal?

It follows the tone of the recording: a casual conversation usually comes out with tú, a formal presentation with usted. If you need one form throughout, edit the text after downloading it.

Can I make Spanish subtitles for an English video?

Yes. Upload the video and download the Spanish translation as .srt or .vtt. The cues keep the timing of the English speech, ready for YouTube, Premiere, CapCut or VLC.

Is the summary in Spanish?

Yes. With Spanish as the target language, the AI summary is written in Spanish, with the main topics and any action items, alongside the Spanish translation and the original English transcript.

Is this audio translator really free?

Yes. You can translate up to 5 files per day (200MB each) free, with no account and no watermark. For unlimited recording and transcription, the Wave app has a free plan and paid plans from $80 a year or $15 a month.

What happens to my file?

Your file is uploaded to temporary storage, transcribed and translated. We may then keep a private copy of the audio and the original transcript to improve Wave's speech recognition. They are never published. Please don't upload recordings you aren't comfortable sharing with us.
