Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Serbian to Japanese translation API

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

Serbian (Indo-European > Slavic > South Slavic) and Japanese (Japonic) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Serbian is written in Cyrillic and Japanese in CJK, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Japanese text.

Serbian and Japanese through a single stream

Serbian to Japanese translation is built on top of Soniox Speech-to-Text API. Every spoken word is transcribed, and Japanese translation streams mid-sentence in the same labeled token stream.

Turn it on by adding a translation block with source_language: "sr" and target_language: "ja". It runs on the same WebSocket and the same model, with no extra round trip.
