Spanish transcription
Spanish speech to text, done properly. Upload a recording in Spanish and Hilite returns a transcript in Spanish, with the accents, the ñ, and the question marks where they belong. It handles Mexican, Caribbean, Rioplatense, and peninsular Spanish, and you can correct any line against the audio before exporting.

How to transcribe Spanish audio to text
- 1
Upload the Spanish audio
Any common format works: MP3, M4A, WAV, or an MP4 video file. Interviews, lectures, sermons, and full episodes are all fine.
- 2
Set the language to Spanish
Pick Spanish so the engine is not guessing. If the recording switches between Spanish and English, automatic detection usually copes, but naming the main language gives a cleaner result.
- 3
Check the names and the regionalisms
Place names, surnames, and local vocabulary are where a Spanish transcript most often slips. Click a line to hear it and correct it in place.
- 4
Export the transcript
Download as text, Word, or an SRT subtitle file, or carry on in Hilite to edit the recording from the transcript.
Keep working inside the Hilite editor
Your uploaded files open directly in a focused editor view. Arrange your clips, preview the timeline, adjust transitions, and export when the track sounds perfectly right.

Built for every kind of audio
Whatever you are making, this tool helps you get to a cleaner, more useful result, then hand off to Hilite to enhance and polish.
- Spanish, not translated SpanishThe transcript comes back in the language that was spoken. Spanish audio gives you Spanish text, with the orthography intact rather than stripped to plain ASCII.
- Built for how Spanish is actually spokenCaribbean Spanish is fast and drops final consonants, Rioplatense uses voseo, peninsular Spanish uses vosotros. The engine is trained across these rather than on one standard accent.
- Correct it against the audioEvery line stays linked to the moment it was spoken, so checking a doubtful word takes one click instead of scrubbing through the file.
Made for podcasters and their teams
Trim the dead air off the top and tail, and every recording is ready to edit, enhance, and publish.
FAQ
Common questions
If you do not see your question here, the support team replies within one business day.
- Yes, it is free to start. Longer files, saved projects, and some export formats may need a free Hilite account.
- No. This transcribes Spanish audio into Spanish text. If you need the recording in English, you would transcribe it here and translate the text afterwards.
- Mexican, Central American, Caribbean, Andean, Rioplatense, and peninsular Spanish all work. Accuracy varies with recording quality more than with accent.
- Yes. Written accents, the ñ, and the opening question and exclamation marks are all preserved.
- Automatic detection generally copes with code switching. For a recording that is mostly Spanish with occasional English, setting the language to Spanish gives the better result.
- Plain text, Word, and SRT subtitle files, with timestamps and speaker labels where the recording supports them.
