SlateTranscribe Spanish audio to text
Record a conversation in Spanish, or import an audio or video file, and Slate writes a Spanish transcript with speaker labels and an AI summary. You can have the summary in English instead, and follow Spanish live as translated text while people speak.

- Live transcription and translation
- Yes, on iPhone and Mac

Does it matter where the Spanish speaker is from?
Slate has one Spanish setting, not separate options for Spain, Mexico or Argentina. Choose Spanish as the meeting language, or leave it on Auto Detect, and use it for any speaker.
If a recording mixes Spanish and English, pick the language most of it is in.
Interviewed someone in Spanish for an English story?
Keep the Spanish transcript for exact quotes, and set the summary language to English to get the key points and action items in English. Search the transcript for a name or a word to jump to that moment in the recording.
Tell the person you're recording first; the recording consent guide explains why the rules differ from place to place.
How do you follow Spanish live?
Start a live session on iPhone or Mac and Slate shows what's said in Spanish as text, together with a translation into the language you choose. It runs on any iPhone with iOS 18; see the live translator.
- Translation appears as text; nothing is spoken aloud
- Speaker labels on the live transcript
