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.

Real-time English to Telugu translation

Soniox streams the English transcript and the Telugu translation on the same connection, word by word, so meaning lands while the speaker is still talking.
