Production-ready Kannada to Latvian translation API

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

Kannada (Dravidian > South Dravidian) and Latvian (Indo-European > Baltic) 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 Latvian in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Latvian text.

Real-time Kannada to Latvian translation

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