Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Turkish to Punjabi translation API

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

Turkish (Turkic > Oghuz) and Punjabi (Indo-European > Indo-Aryan > Northwestern) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Turkish is written in Latin and Punjabi in Gurmukhi, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Punjabi text.
