Trusted by

Production-ready Chinese to Telugu translation API

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

Chinese (Sino-Tibetan > Sinitic) and Telugu (Dravidian > South-Central Dravidian) 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 Telugu in Telugu, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Telugu text.

Chinese and Telugu through a single stream

Chinese to Telugu translation is built on top of Soniox Speech-to-Text API. Every spoken word is transcribed, and Telugu 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: "te". It runs on the same WebSocket and the same model, with no extra round trip.
