Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Malayalam to Portuguese translation API

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

Malayalam (Dravidian > South Dravidian) and Portuguese (Indo-European > Romance > Western Romance) 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 Portuguese in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Portuguese text.
