How Russian speech transcribes
Russian speech transcribes very well; numbers and dates may be written as words in some places and digits in others.
What a Russian transcript looks like
Russian transcripts are written in Cyrillic. The letter ё is often written as е, as is common in everyday Russian text, so search for both if a word doesn't turn up. Proper names from other languages are transliterated into Cyrillic.
Examples
A historian transcribes a 47-minute Russian-language video interview for an archive.
