Estonian to Malay speech translation API

Stream Estonian (Eesti keel) speech and get Malay (Bahasa Melayu) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes et to ms, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by

Production-ready Estonian to Malay translation API

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

Estonian (Uralic > Finnic) and Malay (Austronesian > Malayo-Polynesian > Malay) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Soniox preserves formatting in the translated transcript, including names, numbers, addresses, IDs, and domain-specific terms.

Estonian and Malay through a single stream

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

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