How does it work?

How to create English subtitles from a Spanish video

  1. Step 1

    Upload your Spanish video or audio

    Choose a video or audio file you own or are authorized to use. You can also provide a direct public media-file URL when the browser can fetch it.

  2. Step 2

    Confirm Spanish as the spoken language

    Keep Spanish selected as the source language so the model can interpret Spanish speech, regional vocabulary, names, and accents in the recording.

  3. Step 3

    Generate an English translation with Whisper

    Run Whisper in translate mode. It converts the Spanish speech directly into English subtitle text while retaining start and end times for each cue.

  4. Step 4

    Review and edit every English cue

    Check names, idioms, punctuation, line breaks, speaker changes, and timing in the subtitle editor. Correct any cue affected by background noise, crosstalk, or missing context.

  5. Step 5

    Export the reviewed SRT or VTT file

    Download the finished English subtitle track as SRT or VTT. Both formats keep the cue text and timestamps ready for your video editor or player.

Built around the output

A practical Spanish-to-English subtitle workflow

Direct Spanish-to-English translation

Whisper's translate mode turns Spanish speech into English subtitle text in the same generation pass, keeping this page focused on the Spanish-to-English result you need.

Editable timed cues

Review the English wording alongside each start and end time. Adjust cue text or timing when an idiom, proper name, speaker change, or phrase boundary needs a correction.

Standard SRT and VTT export

Export the reviewed cue set as SRT for common editing workflows or VTT for web players, with the timestamps preserved in the downloaded file.

Translation review

Review Spanish-to-English cues before export

Spanish varies by region and often leaves the subject implicit, while idioms, verb forms, punctuation, and numbers can change how an English subtitle should read. Compare the generated English with the audio and check the Spanish-specific details below before downloading.

  • Verify Spanish and English spellings for proper names, place names, brands, and surnames.
  • Check regional vocabulary and idioms, such as ordenador versus computadora or coche versus carro, against the speaker's intended meaning.
  • Confirm omitted subjects and pronouns from the surrounding context so the English subtitle identifies who is speaking or acting.
  • Review verb tense, mood, and formal or informal address when the Spanish wording carries context that English needs to make explicit.
  • Check Spanish opening question and exclamation marks (¿ and ¡) against the natural sentence break in English.
  • Verify numbers, dates, decimal separators, currencies, and measurements before exporting the English cue.
  • Check timing around pauses, crosstalk, music, speaker changes, and rapid Spanish dialogue.
