# Spanish to English Audio Translation

> Spanish to English audio translation turns spoken Spanish into spoken English. On Kenerate you upload a Spanish audio or video file — or record one — pick English, and the ElevenLabs dubbing engine transcribes, translates and re-voices it in the same voice. Files can be up to 15 minutes with up to 32 speakers, and the source is auto-detected, so Mexican, Castilian, Caribbean or Rioplatense Spanish all work. It works on the free plan. It's a spoken translation, not just a transcript — for text, add subtitles.

## In depth

### Spanish in numbers
Spanish has about 519 million native speakers — second only to Mandarin — and is official in 21 countries; Mexico has the most native speakers.

### Accents and recognition
Spain's 'th' sound for c and z, the softened final 's' of Caribbean speech and the 'sh' of Rioplatense ll/y all trip up weaker speech recognition. Clean, close-mic audio is the best defence.

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

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

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

Q: Does it work with Mexican, Argentine and Spain Spanish?
A: Yes — the source language is auto-detected and every variety is Spanish to the model. Very fast or noisy speech is the main thing that lowers accuracy.

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

Q: How long does it take?
A: It depends on the length of the file and the number of speakers.

Q: Is Spanish to English audio translation free?
A: It works on the free plan with sign-up credits; longer files use one-time credit packs that never expire.
