Translation built for live speech
Real-time translation without taking turns
Google Translate is built around short, step-based interactions. You speak, stop, and wait.
Soniox App enables continuous, one-way or two-way translation, allowing conversations to flow naturally without pausing, restarting, or managing turns.
Translate from any language into your language
In real-world settings, you often don’t know which language someone will speak. Soniox App automatically recognizes the spoken language and translates it directly into the language of your choice, without requiring manual input language selection.
- No need to identify the source language
- Accurate real-time translation output
- Ideal for meetings, travel, and live environments
Automatic translation of mixed-language speech
People naturally mix languages in conversation. For example:
"We’re going to the hotel, pero primero necesitamos pasar por el aeropuerto."
Google Translate requires explicit language selection and does not support mixed-language speech in continuous conversations. Soniox App automatically detects and translates language switches within the same sentence, producing a single, coherent translation.
Consistent high accuracy across all languages
Google Translate performs well in major languages, but Soniox App delivers consistent high accuracy across all of 60+ supported languages — including languages with very different structures, like Arabic, Korean, Hungarian, or Vietnamese — without sacrificing speed or fluency.
- Reliable accuracy beyond major languages
- Consistent quality across 3600 language pairs
- Built for real-world multilingual communication
We own the technology
Unlike tools built on general-purpose or external models, Soniox App runs on proprietary speech AI developed in-house.
- Privacy: Your voice data is processed within the Soniox ecosystem. Soniox never stores your audio recordings or uses them to train models.
- Reliability: Soniox App does not rely on outside speech APIs that can go down or change.
- Innovation: Soniox constantly improves it's models based on user feedback, leading to better handling of complex speech across all supported languages.
