Production-ready Punjabi to Italian translation API

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

Punjabi (Indo-European > Indo-Aryan > Northwestern) and Italian (Indo-European > Romance > Italo-Dalmatian) 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 Italian in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Italian text.

Real-time Punjabi to Italian translation

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