One speech AI API for recognition, generation, and translation in 60+ languages
Soniox STT delivers high accuracy across 60+ languages, accents, numbers, names, and domain vocabulary, engineered for fast multi-speaker conversations and noisy environments.
Generate expressive speech in 60+ languages with audio tags, alphanumeric accuracy, seamless language switching, 200+ built-in voices, and instant voice cloning.
Translate speech in real time across roughly 3,600 language pairs, with low-latency output that starts before a sentence finishes and handles mid-sentence language switching.
Streaming models transcribe speech and start generating audio from the first few words, keeping interaction fast enough for live voice agents and captions.
Build, test, and deploy production-grade voice AI agents over API
Configure speech recognition, an LLM reasoning layer and text-to-speech through one API instead of integrating several vendors separately.
The platform handles real-time audio streaming, interruption handling and call state so conversations feel natural and responsive.
Provision Vapi phone numbers or bring Twilio, Vonage or Telnyx, and support both inbound and outbound calling from the same agent.
Simulate calls before launch, then track transcripts, effectiveness metrics and compliance signals across every production call.
