Trusted by

Production-ready Punjabi to Korean translation API

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

Punjabi (Indo-European > Indo-Aryan > Northwestern) and Korean (Koreanic) 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 Korean in Hangul, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Korean text.

Punjabi and Korean through a single stream
