New: Soniox v5 Real-Time is here

French to Hebrew speech translation API

Stream French (Français) speech and get Hebrew (עברית) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes fr to he, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready French to Hebrew translation API

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

French (Indo-European > Romance > Western Romance) and Hebrew (Afro-Asiatic > Semitic > Northwest Semitic) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

French is written in Latin and Hebrew in Hebrew, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Hebrew text. Right-to-left output is handled directly in the token stream.

About French and Hebrew

French has roughly 280,000,000 speakers across France, Democratic Republic of Congo, Canada, and Madagascar. Hebrew has roughly 9,000,000 speakers across Israel.

French was the international language of diplomacy and high culture from the 17th to the mid-20th century.

Hebrew was revived as a spoken language in the late 19th century after centuries of use primarily as a liturgical language.

Soniox makes French to Hebrew usable in real-time translation across every supported pair.
