What to expect from Spanish transcription
Spanish is one of the languages speech AI handles best. A few things decide how clean the text is, so you know before you upload.
- Spain and Latin America
- You do not pick a country. Choose Spanish, or let auto-detect find it, whether the speaker is from Madrid, Mexico City, Buenos Aires or Bogotá.
- Clear audio gives the cleanest text
- A microphone close to the speaker and one person talking at a time matter most. Loud background noise or people talking over each other lowers accuracy in every tool.
- Speakers are not labelled
- TranscriptGo does not mark who is speaking. For interviews, add the names yourself as you read; the timestamps make it quick.
- No subscription needed
- Every account gets 30 free minutes each month. After that, prepaid hours cost $1 per hour and never expire, so a few interviews never turn into a monthly bill.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Spanish audio to text for free?
Create a free account, open Transcribe, upload your file and choose Spanish. Every account gets 30 free minutes every month, not just once, and no credit card is needed.
Can I translate Spanish audio into English?
Yes. Tick “Translate to” and choose English. The English text appears line by line next to the Spanish, with the same timestamps, and you can download either one, including English subtitles.
Does it work with Spanish from Spain and Latin America?
Yes. Choose Spanish, or auto-detect, whatever the accent. Clear recordings give the best results, so try your own file with the free minutes first.
Can I transcribe WhatsApp voice notes?
Yes. Share or export the voice note as a file and upload it like any other recording. Long voice notes work too.
Is it good for thesis interviews?
Yes for the transcript itself: every line has a timestamp, so quotes are easy to check against the audio. Speakers are not labelled, so mark who is speaking as you review. Many students buy one 5-hour block ($5) instead of a subscription.
How long does it take?
About 30 seconds for each hour of audio.
Can I make Spanish subtitles for YouTube?
Yes. Download an SRT or VTT file with timestamps and upload it to YouTube Studio or any video editor, in Spanish or in a translated language.
How much does it cost? Do I need a subscription?
No subscription is needed. After the 30 free minutes each month, prepaid hours cost $1 per hour, sold in blocks of 5 hours, and they never expire. Monthly plans are there if you transcribe every week.
