What Can Add to the Cost?
Poor Quality Sound
If we have to listen to the audio several times to understand what’s being said, we’ll increase our fee. So, try to get the best recording possible.
Multiple speakers
Obviously, an audio with voices overlapping is more difficult to decipher and, consequently, to translate. Thus, transcription services with speaker identification and voices recognition will be more expensive.
Timestamping
The more complicated time codes you require, the higher the price. For example, inserting timestamps at the beginning and the end of each phrase would cost more.
There are a lot of nuances which we should take into account. So, to get a precise estimate, please request a free quotation.

Step #2 Get your free quote
Before giving our quotation, we do need to listen to the recording or watch your video. We provide transcription for very competitive prices. However, the recording quality will definitely have an impact on recognition rates and thus translation quality. Background noise, whispering, many voices that overlap can make the task more complicated. This, needless to say, will affect the final price. Try to get the best recording possible.
Step #3 Make a partial payment online
Once we have discussed all the details, we issue an invoice for a deposit (50% of the total price). These can be issued in any major world currency. We accept payments by major debit and credit cards, bank transfers, and PayPal. After a partial payment is made, we will start working on your project immediately.
Step #4 Get the screenshot of the translation
As you can guess, deciphering Russian audio can be tricky for a non-native speaker. For that reason, we hire only native-speaking translators with university degrees, who use the language on a daily basis. In addition, our linguists are experienced in translating diverse audio and texts. You can thus be sure we will do our best to convert your audio or video to English text. As a side note, our experts are also proficient in major European languages. We translate between Russian and more than 10 languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Norwegian, Polish, Ukrainian, Armenian).
Finally, we will let you know when the translation is complete and send you a screenshot of the digital document, so that you can verify its existence for yourself.
Step #5 Pay the rest
We then issue an invoice for the remaining balance (50% of the total price) and wait for the funds to come through.
Step #6 Get your Russian to English translation
As soon as we receive the second part of the payment we will send you the text in English. Please let us know what file format suits you best. We can copy the text into PDF, Word Doc, TXT or any other file type. Finally, we deliver the document in digital format to you ASAP.
So, if you need to translate Russian audio to English, look no further than booking translation services from us! Let our expert linguists properly recognise your audio and convert it into an editable English text document. Accuracy and quality are guaranteed!

‘I was searching for someone to transcribe Russian speech and looked at some providers. Compared to them the service was fast, seamless, and cost-efficient. In addition, the transcript was accurate and complete, even in difficult audio sections with noise and voices overlapping. Would use them again.’

‘Elena’s team translated an MP3 audio file for me. It was a section of a Russian conversation from a film. They presented it in the form of a script, with both the literal and figurative sense. Excellent! The cost was super reasonable and the turnaround time was much quicker than I expected. 100% professional!’

‘In an effort to preserve family history, I’ve been recording my father speaking about growing up in communist Russia, and have amassed a number of his stories. I was in search of a native Russian speaker, and full-fluency English speaker – that also has a writing talent – to transcribe his recordings and nuances of his storytelling into text. After trying several translators RLS team was far and away the best at capturing all the emotions and idiosyncrasies. Their work helped me ensure my dad’s stories live on forever.’

‘I made a five-star review for you guys on Trustpilot because you really did a great job. Their communication is speedy, professional, and smooth and they were able to translate several low-quality audio recordings within 24 hours. What is more, they often beat their own timelines. I used them from time to time for about a year. And the cost is not high. Russian Language Services really did an outstanding job. I was impressed and can only recommend them.’

Why are Russian to English transcription services in demand?
Indeed, we live in an era of oral histories. Nowadays around 85% of web communication is audio and video. Solving the problem of turning recorded speech into text could transform how we consume video, radio, and podcasts. While we’ve seen rapid improvements on our smartphones, conversion of recordings into text has been a persistent challenge. Researchers at huge companies are working hard on reducing error rates, testing various systems under stressful conditions like background noise, strong winds, over-the-phone conversations, and regional accents. But still, artificial intelligence is not as good at deciphering the spoken word in any situation as our brains are. So, human-generated transcripts are in great demand where real accuracy is required.
Given that the Russian-speaking audience exceeds 100 million users, translating media content from this language is increasingly in demand in a globalised world. Our company hires only skilled transcribers who are university-educated linguists and native Russian speakers. In addition, they are qualified translators, so professional translation services are available! So, if you need a Russian audio translator, look no further than our expert team!
