Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States, and bilingual audio is everyday reality for researchers, journalists, clinics, courts and businesses across the US and Latin America. Trustample transcribes Spanish natively — correct accents (á, é, í, ó, ú), ñ, inverted punctuation and all — rather than mangling it through an English-first model.
Both European and Latin American Spanish transcribe well; set the spoken language to Spanish before uploading for the most reliable results, and add names, organizations and local terms to the custom vocabulary box — proper nouns are what any model misses first. On Pro, tick "Translate transcript to English" and one upload returns both the Spanish transcript and an English version.
Transcribing Spanish audio to text starts free: a monthly hour of transcription across files of up to 30 minutes, TXT export, and no card details asked — enough for a stack of interviews or voice notes at no cost. Paid plans add longer files, DOCX/PDF/SRT/VTT exports and the built-in English translation.
How it works
- 1Set 'Spoken language' to Spanish under the upload box.

- 3Edit inline if needed, export, and (Pro) read the English translation alongside.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does it handle Latin American vs European Spanish?
Yes — the model is trained on Spanish from many regions. Vocabulary differences (vosotros vs ustedes, regional slang) transcribe as spoken; extremely local slang is the main place accuracy dips.
What about Spanglish or code-switching with English?
Occasional English words inside Spanish speech are usually preserved correctly. Conversations that flip whole sentences between languages are harder for any model — choose the dominant language for best results.
Are accents and ñ preserved in the export?
Yes — real Spanish text with all diacritics (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, ü) in TXT, DOCX, SRT and VTT. For print-ready output, exporting DOCX and printing from Word gives the best typography.
How accurate is Spanish transcription?
On clear audio, Spanish is among the strongest non-English languages — typically comparable to English performance in the mid-to-high 90s percent range. Background noise and heavy crosstalk lower any language's accuracy.
Can I get English subtitles from a Spanish video?
Pro translates the transcript to English; export the Spanish SRT directly today, and use the translated text for an English caption track. One upload, both languages.
Is there a free Spanish audio-to-text converter here?
Yes — 60 minutes a month free, files up to 30 minutes, TXT export, no card, same engine and synced editor paid users get. It renews every 30 days rather than expiring. English translation and the other export formats are where paid plans start.
