Norwegian to Punjabi speech translation API

Stream Norwegian (Norsk) speech and get Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes no to pa, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by

Production-ready Norwegian to Punjabi translation API

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

Norwegian (Indo-European > Germanic > North Germanic) and Punjabi (Indo-European > Indo-Aryan > Northwestern) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Norwegian is written in Latin and Punjabi in Gurmukhi, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Punjabi text.
