Production-ready Swahili to Gujarati translation API

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

Swahili (Niger-Congo > Atlantic-Congo > Bantu) and Gujarati (Indo-European > Indo-Aryan > Western) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Swahili is written in Latin and Gujarati in Gujarati, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Gujarati text.

Real-time Swahili to Gujarati translation

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