- Pronouns

Spanish is the language most often asked for after English, and it brings a single practical challenge: variety. A speaker from Madrid, one from Mexico City and one from Buenos Aires may all describe the same thing, but with different pronunciation, vocabulary and even pronouns. The writing system is stable, so the transcript reads the same across all of them, but the work of listening is different.
Because of this, the best habit is to test a short clip from each speaker before you upload a long batch. If a particular accent comes through weakly, you will know where to concentrate your proofreading.
Recordings range from university lectures and journalism interviews to church services, focus groups, family videos and company calls. Many include code-switching with English, particularly in US and Latin American business settings, and those passages deserve a quick look.
The transcript includes timestamps and speaker labels, and it is plain editable text, so you can correct names, punctuation and accents and then export DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT or VTT. Accuracy varies with audio quality, accents and background noise, so clean recordings are worth the effort.
Questions
Does it handle Latin American and Spanish accents?
Spanish is spoken with many accents across more than twenty countries. Results vary with accent, audio quality and background noise, so test a short clip of each speaker.
Can I transcribe bilingual Spanish and English speech?
Switching between the two is common, especially in the United States. English words often appear, but proofread long English passages.
Are accents and the ñ written correctly?
They belong to Spanish spelling and appear in the transcript. If a mark is missing, fix it in the editor before export.
Can I make Spanish subtitles for a video?
Yes. Transcribe the video, then export SRT or VTT. Check line breaks on longer sentences in your player.
Can I translate the transcript?
Translation is part of the Unlimited plan. Transcribe in Spanish first, then translate the transcript into another language.
