Production-ready Portuguese to Kannada translation API

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

Portuguese (Indo-European > Romance > Western Romance) and Kannada (Dravidian > South Dravidian) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Portuguese is written in Latin and Kannada in Kannada, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Kannada text.

Real-time Portuguese to Kannada translation

Soniox streams the Portuguese transcript and the Kannada translation on the same connection, word by word, so meaning lands while the speaker is still talking.
