Trusted by teams building global voice products
Production-ready English to Telugu translation API
Real English 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.
English (Indo-European > Germanic > West Germanic) 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.
English is written in Latin and Telugu in Telugu, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Telugu text.

}English and Telugu through a single stream
English 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.
