About Russian text to speech

Russian text-to-speech is dominated by two features the Cyrillic script leaves implicit. First, lexical stress is free and unmarked yet drives meaning (за́мок "castle" vs замо́к "lock"), so the engine relies on a pronunciation lexicon to place it. Second, unstressed vowel reduction (akanye, where unstressed "о" is read as "a") and the systematic devoicing or voicing assimilation of consonant clusters must be applied to sound native. The letter ё is frequently written as plain е, which the synthesizer has to disambiguate. The standard target is the Moscow literary norm used in broadcasting; principal users are audiobook platforms, navigation services like Yandex, and accessibility tools.

Russian Text to Speech — FAQ

Russian stress is unmarked in normal text but changes meaning, so the engine uses a stress lexicon and context. For rare or ambiguous words you can mark the stressed vowel with an acute accent (за́мок) to force the correct reading.

Yes. Because ё is usually printed as plain е, the synthesizer disambiguates from its dictionary, reading все ("everyone") and всё ("everything") differently. Writing ё explicitly guarantees the intended pronunciation.

It does. Unstressed о is reduced toward "a" (молоко sounds like "malako") and other unstressed vowels are weakened, which is essential for the output to sound like native Moscow-standard Russian.

Cyrillic text is read as Russian, and embedded Latin words or abbreviations are pronounced as foreign insertions. For smoothest results, transliterate names you want spoken with Russian phonology into Cyrillic.
