Production-ready English to Afrikaans translation API
Real English speech includes accents, regional dialects, code switching, and domain-specific vocabulary. Soniox recognizes it in a single model and streams Afrikaans while the speaker is still talking.
English and Afrikaans both belong to the Indo-European > Germanic > West Germanic family, so cognates and shared structure carry over cleanly into the translated Afrikaans output.
Soniox preserves formatting in the translated transcript, including names, numbers, addresses, IDs, and domain-specific terms.
Real-time English to Afrikaans translation
Soniox streams the English transcript and the Afrikaans translation on the same connection, word by word, so meaning lands while the speaker is still talking.
