# Portuguese to English Audio Translation

> Portuguese to English audio translation turns spoken Portuguese into spoken English in the same voice — audio you can hear and share, not English subtitles. On Kenerate AI you upload an audio file (up to 50 MB) or a video (up to 500 MB), pick English, and the ElevenLabs dubbing engine transcribes, translates and re-voices it, up to 15 minutes with up to 32 speakers, on the free plan. It costs 3 credits per second of source audio, billed only for the seconds you use, and a failed dub is refunded.

## In depth

### Portuguese in numbers
Portuguese is official in nine countries, including Brazil, Portugal, Angola and Mozambique. Brazil has the largest number of native speakers.

### Brazilian and European accents
Brazilian and European Portuguese differ in vowels, in the rhythm of speech and in how final 's' and unstressed 'e' are pronounced. Both are handled by the same dubbing engine; clean, close-mic audio is the best defence against misheard words.

## FAQ
Q: Is there an app that translates Portuguese speech to English?
A: Yes — upload or record Portuguese in Kenerate's AI dubbing, pick English and download spoken English in the same voice.

Q: Can I translate a Portuguese video to English?
A: Yes — up to 500 MB and 15 minutes. The picture stays; the speech becomes English.

Q: Does it work with Brazilian and European Portuguese?
A: Yes — the source language is auto-detected, and Portuguese is in the dubbing engine's source list. Noisy or very fast speech is the main thing that lowers accuracy.

Q: Is this only a transcript translation?
A: No — you get English speech. For captions, use the subtitles tool.

Q: Can it keep the original speaker's voice?
A: Yes — each speaker is re-voiced with a clone of their voice.

Q: How much does a Portuguese to English dub cost?
A: 3 credits per second of source audio, prorated and billed only for the seconds you use, up to 15 minutes. A failed dub is refunded.

Q: Is Portuguese to English audio translation free?
A: You can start on the free plan with the sign-up credits and test a short Portuguese clip first. Longer podcasts and interviews, up to 15 minutes, use one-time credit packs that never expire.
