Telugu to Tamil speech translation API

Stream Telugu (తెలుగు) speech and get Tamil (தமிழ்) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes te to ta, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by

Production-ready Telugu to Tamil translation API

Real Telugu 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.

Telugu (Dravidian > South-Central Dravidian) 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.

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

Telugu and Tamil through a single stream
