About the Russian language
Russian is the most spoken native language in Europe and an official language of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It is written in Cyrillic, and stress can fall on any syllable, which changes both the sound and sometimes the meaning.
Russian is spoken by about 255 million people and belongs to the Indo-European, Slavic language family. On Speechma Pro you can choose from 79 Russian voices: 6 HD voices, 13 standard voices and 60 styled voices. Every voice has its own page with a real sample, so you can compare them before you start.
Which Russian voice should you choose?
- For videos, audiobooks and ads: start with the 6 HD voices, such as Adam Russian HD and Elliot Russian HD. They have the richest, most natural sound.
- For long documents, lessons and phone messages: the 13 standard voices, such as Andrew Russian and Ava Russian, stay clear and consistent over long texts.
- For a specific character: the 60 styled voices are each made for one job, from audiobook, luxury brand, meditation, narration and commercial. Try Alexei and Alexei Novikov.

How to write Russian text that sounds natural
- Write ё instead of е where it applies (for example "всё"), so the word is read with the right sound.
- Mark the stress with an accent on words where it changes the meaning (за́мок / замо́к).
- Write numbers in words when the case ending matters.
