Build with API

German to Turkish speech translation API

Stream German (Deutsch) speech and get Turkish (Türkçe) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes de to tr, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready German to Turkish translation API

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

German (Indo-European > Germanic > West Germanic) and Turkish (Turkic > Oghuz) 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.

German and Turkish through a single stream

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