Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Malay to Persian translation API

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

Malay (Austronesian > Malayo-Polynesian > Malay) and Persian (Indo-European > Iranian > Western Iranian) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Malay is written in Latin and Persian in Arabic, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Persian text. Right-to-left output is handled directly in the token stream.
