Kannada to Estonian speech translation API

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

Trusted by

Production-ready Kannada to Estonian translation API

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

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

Kannada is written in Kannada and Estonian in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Estonian text.

Kannada and Estonian through a single stream

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

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