All 4 run on the ElevenLabs tiers: Enhanced at 110 credits / 1,000 characters (≈ $0.23 per minute of speech) and Premium at 160 (≈ $0.33) for the most natural result. The Standard tier reads Russian too at 50 credits, and for most languages it has native voices of its own. Every clip downloads as MP3.

## Why a native Russian voice matters

Russian spelling and Russian speech are further apart than they look. Unstressed о is pronounced as an a - молоко is said malako - and a voice that reads each vowel as written produces something no Russian speaker says. Stress itself is unmarked in normal text and moves within a word as it declines, so a voice has to know where it falls: за́мок is a castle, замо́к is a lock, and only the stress separates them. The third pillar is palatalization. The soft sign and the front vowels turn a consonant soft, and the hard/soft pair is what distinguishes мат from мать.

Voiced consonants also devoice at the end of a word, so год ends in a t sound, and a voice that keeps the d there sounds careful in a way that reads as foreign. All four voices are Russian speakers. Marina is a calm, clear narrator for long-form reading and Nadia a crisp, energetic voice for informational and educational content. Nikolay is a confident male voice that carries advertising and social video, Denis a relaxed narrator for audiobooks and documentary work.

## Frequently asked questions

Not covered here? [Ask us](https://speecho.app/contact/), we usually reply within a business day.

**Does it put the stress in the right place?**

Yes, from the word and the sentence - which is the only way, since Russian text does not mark stress. Homographs like за́мок and замо́к are resolved from context; if a rare name matters, writing it with the stressed vowel doubled or spelling it phonetically is more reliable than an accent mark.

**Does it distinguish е and ё?**

Yes, including in text that writes ё as е, which most Russian publishing does. The voices read the word rather than the letters, so всё and все come out differently even when they are spelled the same way.

**Is the Speecho interface available in Russian?**

No - the app ships in fourteen interface languages and Russian is not one of them. The voices are a separate matter: Russian text to speech works fully, and so does Russian transcription and translation.

**How much does Russian text to speech cost?**

Native Russian voices exist on every tier: three on Standard at 50 credits per 1,000 characters, and the four on this page on Enhanced at 110 or Premium at 160. A 1,000-character paragraph is roughly a minute of speech - about $0.10 on Standard or $0.23 on Enhanced at the $5 pack rate. No subscription.
