Workflow

## How to transcribe Russian audio

1. 01

   ### Add the recording

   Record straight into the app, upload a file up to 500 MB, or paste a YouTube link. SozAI reads m4a, mp3, wav, aac, mp4 and mov.
2. 02

   ### Set Russian, or let it detect

   Choose Russian, or leave detection on and SozAI identifies it from the first seconds. Recordings that mix Russian with English technical terms stay in a single transcript.
3. 03

   ### Read, search and export

   The transcript arrives with speaker labels and word timestamps. Search it, ask it questions, generate a summary in Russian, or export SRT and VTT subtitles.

Field notes

## What makes Russian hard to transcribe

### Case endings carry the sentence, and word order does not

Russian lets you reorder a sentence almost freely because the endings say who did what to whom. That makes a single mis-heard suffix far more damaging than in English: get "директора" wrong and the subject and object swap. Accuracy on the last syllable of a word matters more in Russian than accuracy on the first.

### Unstressed vowels collapse into each other

In standard Moscow pronunciation unstressed "о" is spoken as "а", and several vowels merge further from the stress. The audio genuinely does not distinguish spellings that the written language does, so the transcript has to be recovered from vocabulary and grammar rather than from sound alone.

### Names, patronymics and declined forms

Russian business speech is full of full names with patronymics, and every one of them declines. The same person appears as "Иван Петрович", "Ивана Петровича" and "Иваном Петровичем" within a paragraph. Word-level timestamps are the practical fix: jump to the second the name was said and correct it once.

### Latin fragments inside Cyrillic text

Technical and business recordings are full of English product names, acronyms and URLs dropped into Russian sentences. Those keep Latin script inside a Cyrillic paragraph, and naive tools transliterate them into Cyrillic and make them unsearchable. SozAI keeps each fragment in the script it belongs to.

Answers

## Russian transcription — your questions

Short answers you can quote. Longer ones live in the sections above.

Does the transcript come back in Cyrillic?

Yes, in standard Russian orthography. English words, product names, acronyms and URLs spoken inside a Russian sentence stay in Latin script rather than being transliterated, so the transcript remains searchable for both languages and pastes cleanly into a document.

Can it separate speakers in a Russian meeting?

Yes. Diarization runs on the audio, so each speaker gets a label and every turn a timestamp regardless of language. For interviews and recorded meetings this is what makes the transcript usable as a record rather than a single long paragraph.

How does it handle names and patronymics?

They are transcribed as spoken, including declined forms. Because the same name appears in several grammatical cases across one conversation, the fastest way to normalise it is to use the word-level timestamps to jump to each occurrence rather than re-listening to the whole recording.

Are Russian subtitles exported correctly?

SozAI exports SRT and VTT in UTF-8 with word-level timing, so Cyrillic text loads correctly in YouTube, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve without an encoding step. Mixed Cyrillic and Latin lines keep their order.

How much does Russian transcription cost?

Every account gets 30 minutes of transcription once, at no cost and without a card. Beyond that, Premium is a subscription through the App Store or Google Play — from $3.99 a week or $44.99 a year in the US — and the price is the same in every language. Current plans are listed on the pricing page.
