Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Thai to Spanish translation API

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

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

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