Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Bulgarian to Slovak translation API

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

Bulgarian (Indo-European > Slavic > South Slavic) and Slovak (Indo-European > Slavic > West Slavic) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Bulgarian is written in Cyrillic and Slovak in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Slovak text.

A breakthrough in real-time Bulgarian to Slovak translation

Translate before the sentence ends

Slovak meaning lands as Bulgarian is spoken, not after the caption catches up.

Directional bg to sk streaming

Set the source and target codes once. Both arrive in a single labeled token stream.

High quality Slovak output

Same model across every language, including historically underserved ones.

Native-speaker Bulgarian STT accuracy

Accurate Slovak translation starts with accurate Bulgarian recognition across accents and language switching.

Names, numbers, and domain terms

Preserved across the pair, including phone numbers, emails, and IDs.

Bulgarian and Slovak through a single stream

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

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