Soniox specializes in high-accuracy, low-latency multilingual speech recognition. Its multi-language model can handle code-switching scenarios where speakers mix languages within a single conversation — without requiring language pre-selection. A great fit for global or multilingual voice AI applications.

Usage

To use Soniox as the STT engine, pass the following JSON in the STTConfig field of the StartAIConversation API:
// json — STTConfig
{
  "Language": "en",
  "VadSilenceTime": 1000,
  "CustomParam": "{\\"STTType\\":\\"soniox\\",\\"ApiKey\\":\\"<your_soniox_api_key>\\",\\"Model\\":\\"stt-rt-v4\\",\\"LanguageHints\\":[],\\"Context\\":{}}"
}
For the complete STTConfig parameter reference, see the STTConfig configuration guide.
