Questions about the free Spanish translator
Can I translate Spanish back to English?
Yes. Swap the languages to make Spanish the source and English the target. The same limits apply in both directions.
Do I need to download Spek?
No. The web translator works in your browser with JavaScript and an internet connection. Spek for iPhone is a separate subscription app with voice, text, and photo translation.
Can I translate a document or photo?
This web tool accepts short text. It does not upload documents, read photos, or listen to speech. You can paste a short passage you already have as text. Have a qualified person check consequential translations.
