Production-ready Arabic to Urdu translation API

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

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

Soniox preserves formatting in the translated transcript, including names, numbers, addresses, IDs, and domain-specific terms.

Real-time Arabic to Urdu translation

Soniox streams the Arabic transcript and the Urdu translation on the same connection, word by word, so meaning lands while the speaker is still talking.
