Spanish AI voiceover for explainer videos
Set the video language to Spanish and Motiongist writes or adapts the script in Spanish, narrates it with the voice you choose, and puts Spanish captions and Spanish titles on screen. All eight narrators speak Spanish with their own timbre on paid plans.
How Spanish narration works in Motiongist
Spanish isn’t a subtitle track added on top of an English video. The scenes are built around the Spanish script: the narration, the word-by-word captions, the numbers and the labels in each diagram are all in Spanish, and the timing follows the Spanish voice, which matters because a Spanish sentence rarely takes the same time to say as its English equivalent.
While you work, the preview uses a free draft voice. For Spanish there is one male and one female draft voice, both from Spain, chosen by the narrator’s gender, so a male narrator previews with the same Castilian voice whichever one you picked. The final voice on paid plans is the narrator you chose, speaking Spanish. Hear all eight on the voices page.
Honest limit: you can’t choose between Castilian and Latin American Spanish for the final voice. The model decides the accent. If your audience is in Mexico or Argentina and the accent matters, generate the narration preview and listen before you render.
¿Y si la contraseña más segura fuera una frase entera?Writing a script in Spanish: 5 tips
Decide between tú and usted up front
Most social content uses tú; banking, health or B2B audiences may expect usted. For a plural audience, ustedes works everywhere, while vosotros sounds like Spain.
Open your questions and exclamations
Write ¿ and ¡ at the start. The narrator reads the intonation from the punctuation, and the captions show it to viewers who watch with the sound off.
Choose your vocabulary by market
“Móvil” or “celular”, “ordenador” or “computadora”: pick the word your audience uses. The on-screen text will repeat it, so a mismatch shows twice.
Write numbers the local way
Spain and much of Latin America use a decimal comma (3,5), while Mexico uses a point (3.5). Write the format your viewers read every day.
Cut harder than in English
The same idea usually takes more syllables in Spanish. Keep sentences short and drop connectors like “por lo tanto” when a pause does the job.

Questions
Can I get a Latin American accent?
Not as an option today: the final voice’s accent is decided by the model, and the draft voices are from Spain. Listen to the preview of your script before rendering.
Can I start from an English article and get a Spanish video?
Yes. Share the link or the document and set the video language to Spanish: the script is written in Spanish from your source. If you paste your own script, write it in Spanish.
Does Spanish cost more than English?
There is no language surcharge. The final voice costs 1 credit per 10 narrated characters, so a longer Spanish script costs a little more voice. Estimate it on pricing.
