## How to transcribe a RuTube video

1.  ### Copy the RuTube video address

    Open the public watch page for the recording you need. Copy its rutube.ru/video/ link and check that the video plays with the spoken audio you want.

2.  ### Import the recording

    In Speechyou Notes, choose Import link and paste the HTTPS address into Media link. Select the spoken language if you know it, then click Import & transcribe.

3.  ### Check names and timing

    Open the transcript and use Timestamps to return to the line you need. Verify names, figures, and terms in the original text before translating or exporting it.

## Supported RuTube links

Copy the full HTTPS link to a public video with audible speech.

-   `rutube.ru/video/…`

### If the link won’t import

-   **Use the video’s own page.** Copy the address of an individual recording. If you started on a channel, a playlist, or an embedded player, open the video on RuTube and copy its own URL.
-   **Check playback access.** Try the video link in a signed-out browser window. If it requires an account or the recording is unavailable, use a saved copy you have permission to process.

## Translate a RuTube video into English text

Start with the original Russian transcript so you have a reference for names, technical terms, and quotations. Open Translate, choose English, and review the translation alongside the source. Export TXT for notes, or choose SRT or VTT when timestamps are available and check the English cues against the recording.

## RuTube transcription questions

Can I transcribe a RuTube video with no existing captions?

Yes. Speechyou uses the spoken audio from the public video. A recording needs accessible media and audible speech for the import to produce a transcript.

Can I use this for a RuTube lecture or interview?

Use the public URL for the individual recorded video. When the note is ready, use the timestamps to locate a specific quotation, a topic change, or the start of an answer.

How do I make English subtitles from a RuTube video?

Transcribe the original audio, translate the note to English, and review the text. Use the SRT or VTT export when timed segments are available, then open the file in your compatible editor or player.

What if the RuTube link cannot be imported?

If you have a copy you can use, upload the video directly to Notes. [See how to transcribe an MP4 video.](https://speechyou.com/formats/mp4-to-text)
