01 / The short answer
Start with the Spanish you actually spoke
Upload a video and select Spanish as its spoken language. AIVideoCaption creates editable Spanish captions with timing from the audio. It transcribes the speech; it does not translate an English video into Spanish.
That distinction matters if you are publishing a cooking clip, interview or lesson. You want viewers to read your words, not a new sentence that changes your meaning. Play the video once while you scan the generated text, then fix anything the microphone or speech recognizer missed.
02 / A useful review pass
Check accents, names and punctuation before export
Automatic captions save the typing, but the last pass is yours. In Spanish, a missing accent can change a word. Names, places and product terms deserve a second look too.
Si, esta listo para manana.
Sí, está listo para mañana.
Listen to the line in context rather than correcting it by appearance alone. If a speaker uses a regional word, keep the word they used. For an interview with overlapping voices or background music, expect to spend more time reviewing the draft.
03 / Short video
Make Spanish captions easy to catch on a small screen
For a Reel or Short, let one idea land at a time. Keep lines short, preview them on a phone-sized frame, and move the caption away from faces or platform controls. A highlighted word can add energy; highlighting every word can make a recipe or explanation harder to read.
- Food and travelCheck local dish and place names.
- EducationGive numbers and terms enough time on screen.
- Talking-head clipsKeep captions clear of the speaker’s face.

04 / Deliver the right file
Styled video or separate subtitle track?
For a ready-to-post clip
Captions are visible in the video itself. Use this when the look and placement matter on Reels or Shorts.
For YouTube or an editor
Keep the timed text as a separate file so you can manage a subtitle track. See the SRT guide.
You can choose both outputs in the studio. The pricing page has the current free-export and plan limits.

06 / Questions
Spanish subtitle questions
Does this translate an English video into Spanish?
No. Select Spanish when the speech in your video is Spanish. The tool writes down that speech; it does not translate another language.
Can I fix accents and names?
Yes. Review and edit the caption text before export. Always listen to names and regional terms in context.
Can I download Spanish subtitles as SRT?
Yes. Export an SRT file for a separate subtitle track, or an MP4 with styled captions visible in the video.
