How do I transcribe a Russian video?
Point Pepys at a Russian video, by upload or link, and it pulls the audio, writes the speech out in timestamped Cyrillic, and gives you SRT or VTT subtitles to load alongside the clip. It handles the case-shifting endings and reduced vowels of spoken Russian and spots the language on its own among 99+. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.
How transcribe russian video works
Add your Russian video
Upload the clip or paste a link – a лекция, an interview, a YouTube or social video. Pepys strips the audio for you.
Get transcript and subtitles
The speech comes back as timestamped Cyrillic text plus caption cues, cut where speakers naturally pause.
Export
Download the transcript (TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON) or the SRT/VTT subtitle file with timing aligned to the video.
Video is where Russian gets tricky in a way audio alone isn't: people talk over each other in a panel, music swells under a vlog, and a presenter rattles through fast colloquial speech full of clipped endings. Pepys takes the soundtrack from any Russian clip – an interview, a university лекция, a streamer's upload – and returns an accurate, timestamped transcript in Cyrillic, then hands you SRT or VTT subtitles that drop straight onto the same footage.
The grammar is what makes it more than a phonetic guess. Russian inflects nouns through six cases and lets word order roam, so the cue that tells a model which form is meant can land anywhere in the sentence – and a final т can devoice to д, or a stressed vowel reduce when it loses the accent. Pepys is built to write the standard spelling regardless. Russian is auto-detected among 99+ languages, the finished transcript translates in one click, your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your video.
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

Yes. Alongside the transcript you get a downloadable SRT or VTT sidecar file, timed to the video, that you load in your player or editor.
