Add Spanish subtitles to any video

Adding Spanish subtitles to your video can make it accessible to a wider audience. Here's how you can do it using Descript.

1) Sign up for Descript for free. You get one free hour of transcription per month, and no credit card is required.

2) On the dashboard, click on "New Project" and then select "Video Project".

3) Upload your video file. When the "Transcribing..." pop-up appears, choose Spanish as the transcription language and name the speaker or speakers.

4) Once the transcription is complete, review and correct any errors using the Correct mode (press C). Utilize Descript's editing tools, like the "Remove filler words" feature, to clean up the transcription.

5) To add subtitles, click on the "Captions" icon. Choose the caption style that suits your video.

6) Preview your video to ensure the subtitles are correctly timed and aligned with the audio.

Tips for adding Spanish subtitles

Adding Spanish subtitles to your video can significantly broaden your audience and enhance engagement. Here are some specific tips to ensure your Spanish subtitles are accurate and effective:

  • Use native speakers: Always have a native Spanish speaker review your subtitles to catch nuances and idiomatic expressions.
  • Check regional variations: Be mindful of regional differences in Spanish, such as vocabulary and slang, to ensure your subtitles are appropriate for your target audience.
  • Maintain context: Ensure that the subtitles preserve the context and tone of the original dialogue, especially in humor or culturally specific references.
  • Sync timing: Adjust the timing of your subtitles to match the natural reading speed of Spanish speakers, which may differ from English.
  • Use formal or informal language: Decide whether to use formal (usted) or informal (tú) language based on the video's audience and context.
