Unmatched accuracy in Estonian and 60+ languages

Estonian is spoken by over 1.1 million people worldwide — primarily in Estonia, with speakers around the world. For years, Estonian speech-to-text has fallen short, failing at fundamentals like accurate and reliable recognition, multiple languages, and alphanumerics. It converted Estonian audio into words, but the words lacked meaning and context.

Soniox reimagined everything Estonian speech-to-text got wrong. You can speak naturally, switch languages mid-sentence, spell out codes and names, or ask for instant Estonian translation, all in real-time. Soniox doesn’t just transcribe Estonian speech – it understands it.
