Transcribe a Russian lecture and study from the page instead of the recording.
A lecture given in Russian in Israel, whether a university course, a continuing-education class or an evening public lecture, usually runs 90 minutes to 3 hours and is transcribed at about 2 minutes per hour of audio, so a 2-hour lecture is text in roughly 4 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and a 13-week course of 2-hour lectures, 1,560 minutes, fits the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
For lecturers and students
A two-hour lecture holds more than anyone can write down. The transcript holds all of it.
Ask before you record
Record a lecture only with the lecturer's agreement, and keep the text for study. A lecturer who records their own course can share the transcript with the group as reading material.
Topics become chapters
Each part of the lecture is a chapter with its start time, and the brief lists the main claims and takeaways. Revising for an exam starts from a page, not a two-hour file.
Terms in several scripts
Russian is the main language, and English and Latin terms written on the board and spoken aloud are handled in the same pass. Dates, formulas read aloud and names of authors appear in a list with timestamps.
Recordings of a whole course
A phone recording at 64 kbps is about 58 MB for two hours and fits the box here. A camera recording of the lecture hall continues on the upload page, up to 5 GB per file.
Why lecture recordings go unused
Recorded every week, replayed almost never.
✗ Recording without text
The student records each lecture in good faith and then, the week before the exam, faces twenty-six hours of audio with no way to find the definition that matters. Older relatives who attend evening lectures in Russian face the same problem with a phone full of recordings they cannot search.
- Hours of audio with no index
- Notes that stop when the lecture speeds up
- Terms in three languages mangled by English tools
- No way to search the course
- Short limits that cut a long lecture
- A subscription for one semester
✓ Every lecture as text
Each recording becomes Russian text with chapters, ready the same evening. Read the chapter you need, then play just that minute of audio if a passage is unclear.
- About 4 minutes per 2-hour lecture
- Chapters at each topic
- Dates and names listed
- Search across the whole course
- Chat to explain a passage again
- Credits that last into next semester
Sample
A literature lecture in Russian, at the parts worth revising.
An illustrative excerpt written for this page; it does not come from any real course or lecturer. Gloss: today we continue last week's topic, nineteenth-century Russian literature; please note this question will be on the exam; pay attention to the date, 1861; any questions? yes, the third row.

FAQ
Russian lectures, answered.
How long does a 2-hour lecture take?
About 4 minutes. A 90-minute seminar takes around 3 and a 3-hour evening class around 6, at roughly 2 minutes of processing per hour of audio.
What will a whole course cost?
Thirteen weekly 2-hour lectures are 1,560 minutes on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. Two such courses in one semester, 3,120 minutes, fit the $24 pack of 5,000. A handful of lectures, up to four of them at 480 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500.
The lecturer switches into English or Hebrew for terms. Will that work?
The lecture is detected on its main language, Russian, and English terms inside the speech are handled. Hebrew terms come through as heard, so check those lines against the recording before relying on them.
Can I ask questions about the lecture afterwards?
Yes. A chat over the transcript answers questions such as where a concept was defined or which examples were given, and points to the timestamp.
A lecture series was streamed on YouTube. Do I need to download it?
No. Paste the YouTube link, including a live replay, and the recording is fetched directly. Google Drive share links and folders work the same way.
Where does the recording go?
It stays in your account. Lectures are transcribed on our own servers, and no recording is ever used for training. Take the text away as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON.
