Ukrainian to Russian speech translation API

Stream Ukrainian (Українська) speech and get Russian (Русский) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes uk to ru, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by

Production-ready Ukrainian to Russian translation API

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

Ukrainian and Russian both belong to the Indo-European > Slavic > East Slavic family, so cognates and shared structure carry over cleanly into the translated Russian output.

Soniox preserves formatting in the translated transcript, including names, numbers, addresses, IDs, and domain-specific terms.
