Upload the video or paste a link and download Russian SRT and VTT files whose cues follow word-level timings. Russian audio returns Russian cue text. For the transcript on its own, see the Russian transcript page. The opening transcript is free at any length, and $8 buys the next 1,000 minutes.
Three steps
Nothing to install; timings are worked out for you.
Video, audio or a link from a podcast host or public video page. Long recordings continue on the upload page.
Every word is timed, so scrubbing is instant. Surnames, patronymics and place names such as Нижний Новгород repay a quick correction pass.
SRT for editing suites and platform uploads, VTT for web players, plus TXT, DOCX, JSON and MD.
Captioning Russian
The oldest trap in Russian subtitling is the code page. Files have circulated in Windows-1251 and KOI8-R for decades, and a player expecting UTF-8 turns those into strings of accented Latin junk — the mojibake every Russian viewer recognises instantly. The export is UTF-8, and the only discipline required is not letting an intermediate tool convert it back.
Russian words are long, and the case endings make them longer still. The same thought that fits one comfortable caption line for an English speaker often needs two in Russian, so a straight port of an English cue sheet's line lengths will overflow. Plan for more cues per minute rather than smaller text, and let the break fall at a clause boundary rather than between a preposition and its noun.
Caption downloads carry cue text and timecodes, never a speaker prefix. The separation between voices appears in the transcript view on screen, and is available as structured data in the JSON export from the same video job.
Delivery
The same export serves players, platforms and editors.
Add the SRT as the Russian track in Studio. A checked file is better than an automatic track for names and technical terms.
Text baked into the frame travels better in feeds and chats. Import the SRT into your editor and style it over the picture.
Both read SRT onto a caption track with the cue timings preserved, ready for restyling in the project.
For a page of your own, VTT is the file the video element loads. Take it from the published link rather than the master file.
Pricing
A pack from $4 opens the full transcript, caption exports included. After that: $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes, $24 for 5,000 minutes, bought once, credits that do not expire.
| Russian video | $8 pack | $12 pack | $24 pack |

| 25-minute интервью | $0.20 | $0.15 | $0.12 |
| 70-minute лекция | $0.56 | $0.42 | $0.34 |

Each value is the portion of one pack that recording spends. No format costs extra; the full table is on the pricing page.
FAQ
Yes. Cue text is always in the language that was spoken, so Russian audio produces Russian captions, and converting them into another language is not part of this.
The file was read as Windows-1251 or KOI8-R by a player expecting UTF-8, or converted by an old editor. Keep the downloaded UTF-8 file unchanged.
Generally yes, because words and case endings are longer. Expect more cues per minute rather than trying to cram a line.
It follows normal Russian practice, where е is usually written in running text. The cue file matches what a reader expects to see.
No. Speaker separation belongs to the transcript view and the JSON export; the SRT and VTT files hold only cue text and timings.
Files up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
The preview needs no account at all. The first recording, up to 3 hours long, is free.
