2. Pick a voice — Start with a native voice such as Anastasia and Anatoly.
3. Paste your Russian text — Write ё where it belongs: “все” (everyone) and “всё” (everything) are read differently, and most printed text drops the dots.
4. Generate and download — Listen to the take, regenerate any line, and download the audio.
