English to Russian audio translator

A Russian transcript in Cyrillic, set out in paragraphs with the time each one starts. It saves as plain text or as a Word document headed with the recording’s length, “Translated: English → Russian” and the date. The English transcript has the same times.

In Cyrillic, as Russian writes foreign names: “Dr. Patel and Maria Lopez” became “Д-р Патель и Мария Лопес”. When you need the original spelling for a report or a search, switch to Original and copy the name from the English transcript.

A name misheard in the English transcript is carried into the Russian as it was heard, so an unusual surname is worth checking against the recording at its time.

Through the verb. “Our doctor said she would call back” became “Наш врач сказала”: “врач” stays a masculine noun, and the feminine “сказала” tells you it is a woman, exactly as Russian speakers say it.

Plural verbs and adjectives carry no gender in Russian, and “учителя” covers a mixed group, so “The teachers were tired after the trip” came back as “Учителя были уставшими после поездки”. For women only, Russian would say “учительницы”.

Reliable enough to read and work from. In our test of fifty English sentences, translation into Russian scored above the dedicated translation system we compared it with. Russian runs a little longer than English, so expect a slightly longer document.

NoteOwl understands Russian and English on your Mac: it transcribes recordings with unlimited transcription, labels each speaker and keeps every conversation searchable. For an English transcript with no translation, use audio to text.
