Trusted by teams building global voice products
Production-ready Japanese to Finnish translation API
Real Japanese speech includes accents, regional dialects, code switching, and domain-specific vocabulary. Soniox recognizes it in a single model and streams Finnish while the speaker is still talking.
Japanese (Japonic) and Finnish (Uralic > Finnic) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.
Japanese is written in CJK and Finnish in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Finnish text.

}Japanese and Finnish through a single stream
Japanese to Finnish translation is built on top of Soniox Speech-to-Text API. Every spoken word is transcribed, and Finnish translation streams mid-sentence in the same labeled token stream.
Turn it on by adding a translation block with source_language: "ja" and target_language: "fi". It runs on the same WebSocket and the same model, with no extra round trip.
