Travel confidently in French-speaking countries. Soniox helps you understand and be understood.
From airports to restaurants, Soniox App translates speech instantly and naturally between French and your language. Hear what locals say, reply in your own words, and keep the conversation flowing.
French is spoken by more than 280 million people worldwide — across France, Democratic Republic of Congo, Canada, Madagascar, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Niger, and beyond. But traditional translation tools struggle with real-world French: fast speech, regional accents, or casual phrasing. Soniox App understands French as it’s spoken – instantly, fluently, and in context – so you can travel freely and connect wherever you go.
