Malayalam to Korean speech translation API

Stream Malayalam (മലയാളം) speech and get Korean (한국어) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes ml to ko, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by

Production-ready Malayalam to Korean translation API

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

Malayalam (Dravidian > South Dravidian) and Korean (Koreanic) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Malayalam is written in Malayalam and Korean in Hangul, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Korean text.

Malayalam and Korean through a single stream

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

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