About Russian in Voxmint
All three Russian voices speak standard Moscow Russian, the neutral pronunciation familiar to Russian speakers everywhere. Olga has a warm, velvety voice and a measured, flowing pace, ideal for fiction and long reads. Dmitri is a man in his fifties with a very deep, resonant bass and slow, serious gravitas, the classic documentary narrator. Alina is in her early twenties and talks fast and playfully, like a blogger opening a new video.
Always write in Cyrillic. Transliterated text in Latin letters is much harder to read correctly. Product names and abbreviations written in Latin letters are the most common trouble spot inside a Russian script, so where one sounds off, write it in Cyrillic the way you want it said.
Stress is not marked in ordinary Russian writing, and it can change a word’s meaning. Common vocabulary is read with the stress where a native speaker puts it, but rare words, surnames and place names are worth checking in a short test. Type ё wherever it belongs, as in “тёплые” and “течёт” in the samples above, rather than leaving it as е, so the voice knows which word you mean.
Numbers decline by case, so a digit string may not come out in the form you expect. When it matters, write the number out in words in the correct case, for example “в две тысячи двадцать четвёртом году” rather than “в 2024 году”. Punctuation guides the intonation: Russian sentences often carry many commas, which give useful breaths, but split a very long sentence where the thought changes.
Choose the voice before you polish the wording, because each voice’s personality is part of the script. A cheerful “Привет всем!” suits Alina and sounds out of place from Dmitri. Facts, history and nature films suit Dmitri, fiction and reflective writing suit Olga, and promotional or casual content suits Alina. For a different speaker, describe them in the studio.
Design a Russian voice
Describe the voice you want, for example:
A friendly St Petersburg grandmother in her seventies with a soft, slightly crackly voice and a slow, affectionate pace, like someone telling fairy tales to her grandchildren.
Voice design creates a new voice from that description, no recording needed.

Questions
- Which Russian voice is best for audiobooks?
- Olga, whose warm, measured narration is made for long reads. Dmitri also works well for non-fiction and history.
- Can I type Russian in Latin letters?
- Write in Cyrillic. The voices expect Russian text, and transliterated spelling is much harder to read correctly.
- Why is a word stressed in the wrong place?
- Stress is not shown in standard Russian spelling, so rare words and names occasionally come out wrong. Type ё where it belongs, or rephrase the sentence, and generate the passage again.
- How do I get numbers to read in the right case?
- Write the number out in words in the case you need, for example “двадцать пять рублей” or “в девятнадцатом веке”. Do this only where the figure is read the wrong way.
- Are the voices male or female?
- Two are female, Olga and Alina, and one is male, Dmitri. For another age, gender or accent, describe the speaker in the studio.
- Can I make my own Russian voice?
- Yes. Describe the voice you want in a sentence, its age, accent, mood and pace, and voice design creates it for your Russian script. Save the description to your library to reuse it, or pick a catalogue voice when you need exactly the same speaker every time.
