Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Chinese to Serbian translation API

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

Chinese (Sino-Tibetan > Sinitic) and Serbian (Indo-European > Slavic > South Slavic) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Chinese is written in CJK and Serbian in Cyrillic, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Serbian text.

Chinese and Serbian through a single stream

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

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