Spanish Subtitle Generator

• A Spanish subtitle generator with word-level timing

  Whisper-class speech recognition transcribes Spanish with a timestamp on every word, so cues line up with the voice instead of drifting behind it. The AI detects the spoken language automatically, and if it ever guesses wrong you can override the source language after transcription. For other languages, the add subtitles tool works the same way.

• Native rendering of ñ, accents, and inverted punctuation

  Every glyph Spanish needs, á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ, ¿ and ¡, renders correctly across all 176 presets. Upload your own fonts through the brand kit; as long as the font file carries those characters, your captions will draw them exactly as designed.

• Translate between Spanish and 85 other languages

  Transcribe an English video and flip the cues into Spanish, or take a Spanish video to English, French, or Portuguese. The subtitle translator, a Pro feature, covers 86 languages and keeps every cue's timing intact while it swaps the text.

• Bilingual subtitles on one screen

  Show Spanish and the original language together, a format Spanish teachers and heritage-language channels rely on. The bilingual subtitles view pairs each translated cue with its source line automatically.

• 176 caption presets, karaoke fill included

  Word-by-word styles with active-word fill, including the hormozi and Beast Mode presets you see everywhere on Spanish-language TikTok. Recolor or emphasize individual words, so a key phrase like 'gratis' can land in its own color.

• Edit the transcript to cut the video

  Delete a sentence in the transcript and the matching footage disappears with it. Automatic filler and silence removal trims ums and dead air, and you can click out muletillas like 'este' or 'o sea' word by word.

• Line lengths tuned for longer Spanish

  Spanish copy usually runs 15 to 25 percent longer than English, which is why translated captions overflow in other tools. EchoWave lets you split cues, rebreak lines, and retime anything, so you can stay near the 42-characters-per-line convention professional Spanish subtitlers follow.

• Burn in free, or download SRT, VTT, TXT, JSON on paid plans

  Burn the captions into the video for free so they show on every platform, karaoke animation included. On a paid plan you can also download a Spanish SRT for YouTube, a VTT for web players, or plain text for a blog post.

1. 1

   Upload your video

   Drag in an MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, or most other common formats. There is no software to install; EchoWave runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chromebooks.

2. 2

   Generate the Spanish captions

   Click Auto Subtitles and the AI transcribes the audio with word-level timestamps, detecting the spoken language on its own. If the video is in English, a Pro translation pass turns the cues into Spanish.

3. 3

   Review and style the cues

   Scan the transcript for names, slang, and regionalisms, then fix any cue in place. Pick one of 176 presets, set your font and colors, and emphasize individual words where it matters.

4. 4

   Burn in or download the file

   Export an MP4 with the subtitles hardcoded, or download SRT, VTT, TXT, or JSON files to use elsewhere on a paid plan. Free exports are 720p MP4 with a small EchoWave badge and a short end card; paid plans remove them and add 1080p and 4K.

• Creators posting for Latin America

  Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina are among the most active markets on TikTok and YouTube, and most short-form viewing happens on mute. Karaoke captions keep silent viewers reading to the last second.

• English channels reaching Spanish speakers

  Spanish has roughly 500 million native speakers, and the United States alone has over 40 million. Translating your existing videos into Spanish subtitles opens that audience without reshooting anything.

• Spanish teachers and learners

  Pair Spanish audio with bilingual captions so students read both languages at once. Slow playback to 0.5x or 0.25x for dictation practice while word-level highlighting tracks the voice.

• Podcast and interview clips

  Transcript editing turns an hour-long charla into tight clips: delete the rambling in the text and the video follows. Then caption the best 60 seconds for Reels and TikTok.

• Business, training, and internal comms

  Teams with offices in Madrid, Mexico City, or Bogotá can subtitle an announcement once and, on a paid plan, download an SRT for their video platform. Burned-in versions play anywhere, including clips forwarded over WhatsApp.

• Films, trailers, and festival cuts

  Festivals usually ask for an SRT deliverable alongside the picture. Review every cue against reading-speed conventions, settle on Castilian or Latin American phrasing yourself, and download the SRT on a paid plan.
