Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Ukrainian to German translation API

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

Ukrainian (Indo-European > Slavic > East Slavic) and German (Indo-European > Germanic > West Germanic) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Ukrainian is written in Cyrillic and German in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted German text.

Ukrainian and German through a single stream

Ukrainian to German translation is built on top of Soniox Speech-to-Text API. Every spoken word is transcribed, and German translation streams mid-sentence in the same labeled token stream.
