Translate into Spanish 0:00 Stop Listening… Good morning everyone, thank you for coming out tonight. Buenos días a todos, gracias por venir esta noche. We will start with the safety briefing and then the schedule. Vamos a empezar con la charla de seguridad y luego el horario. If you have questions, there is time for them at the end. Si tienen preguntas, hay tiempo para ellas al final. ## Three steps, and the room is reading Set up once; after that it is one button before you start. ### 1. Pick where the sound comes from The microphone in the room, or the audio of a browser tab if the meeting is online. Taking audio from the sound desk beats a laptop microphone in a large room. **Note:** tab audio needs Chrome or Edge. In Safari and Firefox the microphone is the way in. ### 2. Share the reading link One link, shown as a QR code on the screen or printed in the programme. It opens in a browser - no install, no account, and each reader sets their own text size. put the subtitles on the projector in fullscreen instead, and nobody needs a phone at all. ### 3. Start, and stop when you are done Billed by the second while the session runs, from a pay-as-you-go balance. Pause it over a break and nothing is charged. the session is saved as a transcript in both languages, exportable as text or subtitles. ## Hear Spanish instead of reading it The live interpreter speaks the translation aloud in a natural voice, a few seconds behind the speaker. Listeners scan a QR code and hear it in their headphones, up to 20 per session.

[Ask us](https://speecho.app/contact/), we usually reply within a business day. **Which Spanish does it translate into?** Standard written Spanish, the register a newspaper or a subtitle track uses. It is not localised to Mexican, Caribbean or Castilian usage, because a subtitle read by a mixed audience should not pick a side - and because a reader in the room is following meaning, not idiom. **Do people need to install anything?** No. You share a link, usually as a QR code on the screen or printed in the programme. It opens a page in the browser they already have, and the subtitles start arriving. Nothing to download, no account for the reader. **Can it go both ways in the same session?** One session translates in one direction. If the room needs both, run the English-to-Spanish session for the English speaker and switch the target language mid-session when a Spanish speaker takes the floor - the link stays the same and the audience does not have to reload. **Does a strong accent break it?** Regional English accents are handled well; recognition degrades with overlapping speakers and with a microphone across the room rather than near the speaker. If the room has a sound system, taking audio from it is worth more than any setting. **What does an hour cost?** Billed by the second from a pay-as-you-go balance, from $0.83 per hour - the same credits as file transcription. A one-hour service or meeting is roughly a dollar, and nothing is charged while the session is not running. **Can the subtitles spell names right and translate terms my way?** Yes. Open Glossary before you start and add names and terms, plus translations into Spanish written as term = translation, such as a job title or a product name the way your audience says it. The subtitles use them from the first sentence, and you can edit the list during the session. ## Other language pairs The same session in a different direction - and any of the 60 recognised languages can be translated into any supported target, whether or not it has a page here.
