Production-ready Spanish to Tamil translation API

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

Spanish (Indo-European > Romance > Western Romance) and Tamil (Dravidian > South Dravidian) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Spanish is written in Latin and Tamil in Tamil, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Tamil text.

Real-time Spanish to Tamil translation

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