Production-ready Arabic to Hebrew translation API

Real Arabic speech includes accents, regional dialects, code switching, and domain-specific vocabulary. Soniox recognizes it in a single model and streams Hebrew while the speaker is still talking.

Arabic (Afro-Asiatic > Semitic > Central Semitic) and Hebrew (Afro-Asiatic > Semitic > Northwest Semitic) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Arabic is written in Arabic and Hebrew in Hebrew, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Hebrew text. Right-to-left output is handled directly in the token stream.

Arabic and Hebrew through a single stream

Arabic to Hebrew translation is built on top of Soniox Speech-to-Text API. Every spoken word is transcribed, and Hebrew translation streams mid-sentence in the same labeled token stream.

Turn it on by adding a translation block with source_language: "ar" and target_language: "he". It runs on the same WebSocket and the same model, with no extra round trip.
