About transcribing Russian videos
Russian is the most spoken Slavic language, with free word stress that changes meaning.
Russian is spoken in Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine. Transcripts are written in the Cyrillic script, with punctuation and paragraphs added automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with Russian YouTube videos that have no captions?
Yes. The audio of the video is transcribed directly, so it works whether or not the video has Russian captions.
How do I add Russian captions to my own YouTube video?
Download the SRT file from the result page, then in YouTube Studio open the video, go to Subtitles, choose Russian, and upload the file.
Can it transcribe Russian mixed with English?
Yes. Mixed-language speech is detected automatically, so recordings where speakers switch between Russian and English are transcribed in the right language word by word.
Which script is the Russian transcript written in?
Transcripts are written in the Cyrillic script, with punctuation and paragraphs added automatically.
How much does Russian transcription cost?
1 credit per minute of audio, with free minutes for new accounts and credit packs from $1. No subscription.
Which file formats are supported?
Almost any audio or video file: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, WEBM, MP4, MOV, MKV and more, up to 500 MB and 5 hours.
What happens to my files?
Your upload is deleted from processing storage as soon as the transcript is ready. The transcript stays in your account until you delete it.
