Trusted by teams building global voice products
Production-ready Portuguese to Tamil translation API
Real Portuguese speech includes accents, regional dialects, code switching, and domain-specific vocabulary. Soniox recognizes it in a single model and streams Tamil while the speaker is still talking.
Portuguese (Indo-European > Romance > Western Romance) and Tamil (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 Tamil in Tamil, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Tamil text.

}Portuguese and Tamil through a single stream
Portuguese to Tamil translation is built on top of Soniox Speech-to-Text API. Every spoken word is transcribed, and Tamil translation streams mid-sentence in the same labeled token stream.
Turn it on by adding a translation block with source_language: "pt" and target_language: "ta". It runs on the same WebSocket and the same model, with no extra round trip.
