Russian to Belarusian speech translation API

Stream Russian (Русский) speech and get Belarusian (Беларуская) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes ru to be, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Russian to Belarusian translation API

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

Russian and Belarusian both belong to the Indo-European > Slavic > East Slavic family, so cognates and shared structure carry over cleanly into the translated Belarusian output.

Soniox preserves formatting in the translated transcript, including names, numbers, addresses, IDs, and domain-specific terms.
