Dutch to Bulgarian speech translation API

Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Dutch to Bulgarian translation API

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

Dutch (Indo-European > Germanic > West Germanic) and Bulgarian (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.

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

A breakthrough in real-time Dutch to Bulgarian translation

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

Directional nl to bg streaming

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

High quality Bulgarian output

Same model across every language, including historically underserved ones.

Native-speaker Dutch STT accuracy

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

Names, numbers, and domain terms

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

Dutch and Bulgarian through a single stream

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

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