Understanding Russian AAC files
Standard Russian is unusually uniform for a language of its size, with Northern, Central, and Southern dialect groups inside Russia differing mainly in vowel pronunciation. The variation transcription users encounter most is second-language accents from speakers across the post-Soviet states, along with occasional code-switching into Ukrainian, Kazakh, or other regional languages.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Russian transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Russian AAC file that you upload to Sonix. Please use high quality recording equipment, recording in a quiet environment, and ensure that your speakers are speaking clearly to ensure that your transcript is as accurate as possible.
Any advice for the Russian AAC file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Russian AAC file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AAC, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Russian with Sonix:
What is the difference between AAC and M4A files?
Both typically contain the same AAC-encoded audio; the difference is packaging. A .aac file is a raw ADTS stream, while a .m4a file wraps the audio in an MPEG-4 container that supports metadata such as tags, artwork, and chapters.
Why won't my AAC file open in some apps?
Raw .aac files are a bare audio stream without a standard container, so some players and editors that expect MP4/M4A files cannot read them. Renaming the extension does not fix this — remux or convert the file into an M4A or MP3 instead.
Can Sonix transcribe Russian audio recorded outside Russia, such as in Kazakhstan or the Baltic states?
Yes. Sonix's Russian model transcribes Russian speech regardless of where it was recorded, and the built-in editor lets you correct any words affected by regional accents.
Does Sonix output Russian transcripts in Cyrillic?
Yes. Russian transcripts are produced in the Cyrillic script and can be exported to Word, PDF, plain text, and subtitle formats such as SRT and VTT.
Can Sonix translate a Russian transcript into English?
Yes. After transcribing a Russian file, you can use Sonix's translation feature to generate an English version of the transcript, then review and export it.

The interface and editor experience were great. I also like the way you handle speaker identification and naming. Pretty slick. Nice timestamp frequency / formatting too.
Holy Cow. It works. This just saved me freaking DAYS of my life. I am totally getting a Sonix tattoo now!
