Trusted by

Production-ready English to Malayalam translation API

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

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

English is written in Latin and Malayalam in Malayalam, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Malayalam text.

English and Malayalam through a single stream
