Handle mid-sentence language switching in Latvian

Capture alphanumerics exactly as spoken in Latvian
From phone numbers and email addresses to reference IDs and license plates, Soniox recognizes alphanumeric speech with precision — even when spelled out in Latvian.
Every digit. Every character. In real 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."

Founder & CEO of mobilApp
Detect when a speaker has finished speaking
Soniox goes beyond basic silence detection.
Using advanced conversational endpointing, the system understands tone, meaning, and speech flow to determine when a speaker is actually finished — not just when they pause.
The result:
- Faster agent responses
- More natural turn-taking
- Lower latency in live systems
"It’s so fast, captions appear before people even finish talking. Zero lag. No buffering. Nothing."
Dag-Inge Aas,
Head of AI at Tana

Latvian is spoken by over 1.8 million people worldwide — primarily in Latvia, with speakers around the world. For years, Latvian speech-to-text has fallen short, failing at fundamentals like accurate and reliable recognition, multiple languages, and alphanumerics. It converted Latvian audio into words, but the words lacked meaning and context.
Soniox reimagined everything Latvian speech-to-text got wrong. You can speak naturally, switch languages mid-sentence, spell out codes and names, or ask for instant Latvian translation, all in real-time. Soniox doesn’t just transcribe Latvian speech – it understands it.
