Croatian speech-to-text
transcription and translation
Speech, (mis)understood.
Croatian is spoken by over 5.5 million people worldwide — primarily in Croatia, with speakers around the world. For years, Croatian speech-to-text has fallen short, failing at fundamentals like accurate and reliable recognition, multiple languages, and alphanumerics. It converted Croatian audio into words, but the words lacked meaning and context.
Until now. Soniox reimagined everything Croatian speech-to-text got wrong. You can speak naturally, switch languages mid-sentence, spell out codes and names, or ask for instant Croatian translation, all in real-time. Soniox doesn’t just transcribe Croatian speech – it understands it.
Get every word right, in Croatian and every other language
Understand Croatian speech with native-speaker fluency.
"We tried a dozen speech-to-text and translation services. Soniox is the best, so that's what we use."
Cayden Pierce,
CEO/CTO at Mentra
Mix languages, not mistakes.
"It’s the first model we’ve used that actually understands Hinglish. Switching mid-sentence just works."
Prakash N,
Co-Founder & Director at Tevatel
Every number, every code, every time.
"As the leading provider of voicebots for automotive dealerships in Germany, we’ve faced significant challenges recognizing license plates accurately. Soniox has solved this problem with exceptional recognition of alphanumeric sequences, resulting in a much higher acceptance rate for our voicebot."
Dr. Steven Zielke,
Founder & CEO of mobilApp
“It just gets the words right — any language, any accent, any context. That’s what accuracy is supposed to look like.”
Tony Wang,
Cofounder & Chief Revenue Officer at Agora

"Soniox's ability to accurately transcribe complex medical terminology means our physician-customers spend significantly less time editing. This allows them to finalize their notes faster and focus on what matters most: patient care."
Max Malyk,
Vice President at DeliverHealth
Understand every conversation in context.
"It just gets the context — and when we add our own domain knowledge, it feels completely customized to us."
Mark Boyce,
CEO at MediLogix
Get every term right, every time.
Soniox delivers unmatched accuracy for specialized language, ensuring every technical term, brand name, or uncommon phrase is transcribed exactly as spoken. Simply provide your custom terms – from “SOFR” to “force majeure” – and Soniox captures them flawlessly in real-time.
Stay true in every translation.
Define exactly how key terms and phrases are translated – from medical terminology to brand names and idioms. Control whether “MRI” becomes “RM” or “Silicon Valley” stays the same, preserving both precision and meaning across languages.
Keep up with Conversational intelligence
Follow every voice in real-time.
"Soniox knows who’s speaking and when each thought ends. The real-time transcripts read like true dialogue, not data dumps."
Adam Strom,
Co-Founder & President at Mobius MD
Know when to call it quits.
Soniox goes beyond basic timing and silence detection — using advanced endpoint detection that reads tone, meaning, and conversational flow to know when someone is truly finished speaking. The result: smoother, faster, and more natural responses."Soniox gives us live transcriptions we can trust — fast, accurate, and natural. It’s why our users trust the experience and keep coming back."
