Malayalam to Telugu speech translation API

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

Trusted by

Production-ready Malayalam to Telugu translation API

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

Malayalam (Dravidian > South Dravidian) and Telugu (Dravidian > South-Central Dravidian) 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 Telugu in Telugu, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Telugu text.

Malayalam and Telugu through a single stream

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