Slovak to Czech speech translation API

Stream Slovak (Slovenčina) speech and get Czech (Čeština) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes sk to cs, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Slovak to Czech translation API

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

Slovak and Czech both belong to the Indo-European > Slavic > West Slavic family, so cognates and shared structure carry over cleanly into the translated Czech output.

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

Slovak and Czech through a single stream

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

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