Understanding Russian GSM 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 GSM 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 GSM file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Russian GSM file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from GSM, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Russian with Sonix:
Why won't my GSM file play on my computer?
GSM is a telephony codec that many consumer media players do not decode by default. Players such as VLC can open it, or you can convert the file to WAV or MP3 for broader compatibility.
Is telephone-quality GSM audio suitable for transcription?
GSM was designed specifically for human speech at an 8 kHz sample rate, so clear voice recordings generally transcribe well. As with any phone recording, heavy background noise or overlapping speakers reduces clarity.
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.
