Vietnamese to Urdu speech translation API

Stream Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) speech and get Urdu (اردو) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes vi to ur, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by

Production-ready Vietnamese to Urdu translation API

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

Vietnamese (Austroasiatic > Vietic) and Urdu (Indo-European > Indo-Aryan > Central) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Vietnamese is written in Latin and Urdu in Arabic, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Urdu text. Right-to-left output is handled directly in the token stream.

Vietnamese and Urdu through a single stream

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

Turn it on by adding a translation block with source_language: "vi" and target_language: "ur". It runs on the same WebSocket and the same model, with no extra round trip.
