Basque is spoken by more than 750 thousand people worldwide — primarily in Spain, with speakers around the world. But traditional translation tools struggle with real-world Basque: fast speech, regional accents, or casual phrasing. Soniox App understands Basque as it’s spoken – instantly, fluently, and in context – so you can travel freely and connect wherever you go.
