Production-ready Hindi to Punjabi translation API

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

Hindi (Indo-European > Indo-Aryan > Central) and Punjabi (Indo-European > Indo-Aryan > Northwestern) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Hindi is written in Devanagari and Punjabi in Gurmukhi, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Punjabi text.

Real-time Hindi to Punjabi translation

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

Add a translation block to your real-time request with source_language "hi" and target_language "pa". Soniox transcribes Hindi and streams the Punjabi translation over the same WebSocket.
Is Hindi to Punjabi translation real-time?
Yes. Soniox streams Punjabi while Hindi is still being spoken, so meaning arrives mid-sentence instead of after the sentence ends.
What about translating Punjabi to Hindi?
That direction is supported too. See the Punjabi to Hindi page, or use two-way translation to run both directions in one session.

Yes. Soniox outputs correctly scripted Punjabi text in Gurmukhi directly in the token stream.
Does Soniox handle Hindi dialects and accents?
Yes. Soniox handles Hindi dialects like Khariboli, Braj Bhasha, and Awadhi in a single model, so Punjabi translation stays accurate across regions.
Which other providers support Hindi to Punjabi?

How fast is Hindi to Punjabi translation?
