How to read Russian stress marks
An acute accent marks the stressed vowel: молоко́, хорошо́, ру́сский. Russian stress can move when a word changes form, so look up the form you are reading rather than assuming the dictionary headword has the same stress. Single-vowel words do not need an extra mark.
When е should become ё
Russian texts often print е where the word is spelled with ё. This tool restores ё when the selected dictionary form uses it: пьем becomes пьём. If both readings exist, as in все and всё, choose the intended reading. Existing ё is preserved.
Why a word can have two stresses
The same unaccented spelling can represent different words or forms: за́мок is a castle, while замо́к is a lock. The tool presents dictionary alternatives for each occurrence instead of choosing a meaning automatically. Read the sentence before selecting.
Use marked text alongside real audio
Stress marks show prominence, not a complete pronunciation transcription. Unstressed vowels and consonants also change in speech. Read a short Russian story while listening to its narration, then use this lookup for words you want to review.
