Spanish to English voice translator
Speak Spanish and hear English — or speak English and hear Spanish — in under a second. Speaklu is a live Spanish to English voice translator that also shows a text transcript and translates Spanish audio from videos as it plays.
Translate Spanish to English by voice
Spanish is spoken by more than 500 million people across Spain, Mexico, the United States and Latin America. Speaklu lets you speak Spanish or English out loud and hear the other language back in under a second — no typing, no copy-pasting into a text box.
Pick Spanish ↔ English
Choose the language pair once. Speaklu remembers it for the whole conversation.
Tap and speak
Speak Spanish or English naturally. Speaklu detects which language is being spoken.
Hear and read it
The translation is spoken aloud in a natural voice and shown as text in the transcript.
English to Spanish voice translation
Translation works both ways. Speak English and Speaklu says it in Spanish for the person in front of you, then translates their Spanish reply back into English. With two-way conversation mode you never have to switch directions manually.
Translate Spanish audio to English, live
Watching a Spanish video, livestream or podcast on your phone? Speaklu's live subtitle mode listens to the audio playing on your device and shows English subtitles in real time — on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and other apps. Speaklu translates live audio as it plays; it does not translate uploaded audio files or recordings.
Spanish voice to English text
Every translation is also saved as text. The transcript shows what was said in Spanish and the English translation, so you can re-read a conversation, copy an address, or check a word you missed.

Spanish accents & dialects
Spanish changes a lot from country to country. Mexican Spanish, Castilian Spanish from Spain, Caribbean Spanish and Argentine Rioplatense Spanish all differ in accent, slang and vocabulary (a car is carro in Mexico and coche in Spain). Speaklu's AI speech recognition is trained on many regional accents, so it understands a speaker from Madrid, Mexico City or Buenos Aires.
