Russians call it расшифровка – literally "deciphering" the speech – and that is the honest word for it, because Russian packs a lot into every word. One noun can shift through six cases, verbs carry aspect and person, and word order moves around freely for emphasis, so the same idea surfaces in a dozen inflected shapes. Pepys writes all of it back out in clean Cyrillic, whether you feed it a lecture, a podcast, a courtroom recording, or a voice message dictated on the metro.
Where off-the-shelf speech models slip is the sound-to-spelling gap: unstressed о and а collapse together (akanye), consonants soften before front vowels, and final consonants devoice – so a model that guesses phonetically writes the wrong letter. Pepys is tuned to spell it the way Russian is actually written, not the way it momentarily sounds. Russian is detected automatically among 99+ languages, you can translate the finished transcript with one click, your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.
Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.
The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.
um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around

Russian audio to text – questions, answered
How do I convert Russian audio to text?
Paste a link or upload the file on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys returns timestamped Cyrillic text in minutes, with an AI summary alongside it.
Does it cope with regional Russian accents?
Yes. From the clipped Moscow standard to the soft fricative г you hear in the south, Pepys still spells words the standard Cyrillic way, and you can adjust any word inline before exporting.
Why is Russian hard to transcribe?
Heavy inflection and a sound-to-spelling gap. Six cases reshape endings, free word order scatters the cues, and reduced vowels mean what you hear isn't always what you write. Pepys spells to the written norm, then lets you edit anything inline.
Can it handle English or other words mixed into the Russian?
Yes – borrowed tech and brand terms that pepper modern спич come through, and you can correct any of them inline. The export keeps your edits and timestamps.
Is my Russian audio private?
Yes. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
