Production-ready Punjabi to Albanian translation API

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

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

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

Real-time Punjabi to Albanian translation

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