HONG KONG, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global
technology company Tencent, today announced a strategic partnership with Soniox,
a San Francisco-based speech AI company that specializes in developing high-accuracy,
low-latency speech AI solutions. The collaboration integrates Soniox’s speech-to-
text (STT) technology with Tencent Cloud’s Real-Time Communication (TRTC) enterprise-
grade global infrastructure, enabling enterprises to build and deploy multilingual
voice AI applications across 200+ countries and regions.

**Elevating Enterprise Voice AI at a Global Scale**

In enterprise voice AI deployments, latency directly affects user experience and
application reliability. The integration of Soniox’s high-accuracy, low-latency 
STT with TRTC’s global transmission infrastructure reduces latency across the entire
pipeline, creating a comprehensive end-to-end solution for enterprises deploying
conversational AI applications worldwide.    

Soniox is the voice platform for every language. Unlike legacy speech AI, which 
was built primarily for English-speakers, Soniox delivers native-speaker accuracy
across 60+ languages. Its technology can handle mid-sentence language switching —
a user can switch between English and Chinese in a single utterance, and Soniox 
will capture every word with complete accuracy. All of this works through a single
API that works for both speech-to-text and text-to-speech.

By integrating TRTC, the partnership leverages an enterprise-grade real-time communication
backbone featuring more than 3,200 global nodes, sub-300 ms worldwide latency, and
advanced capabilities such as AI noise suppression and weak-network resilience. 
These capabilities enable conversational AI applications to operate reliably across
diverse network environments, including regions such as Southeast Asia and Africa.

With the roll out of this partnership, developers can integrate the Soniox STT API
directly within the Tencent Cloud console. Whether targeting English-speaking markets
or supporting languages such as Arabic, Hindi, and Malay, enterprises can build 
global voice applications — including intelligent customer service, voice assistants,
real-time translation, and meeting transcription — to address the demands of expansion
into emerging markets and multilingual scenarios.

**Wison Xie, Head of Product at Tencent RTC, **stated: "Tencent RTC has always been
committed to providing reliable real-time communication infrastructure for global
enterprises. Our partnership with Soniox brings together our strengths in enterprise-
grade audio transmission and Soniox’s advanced speech recognition technology. Together,
we are making it easier for businesses to deploy accurate, low-latency voice AI 
applications across any language and any market."

**Klemen Simonic, CEO at Soniox Inc.,** stated "At Soniox, our mission is to help
businesses understand every word, in any language, with native speaker accuracy 
and exceptional speed. Partnering with Tencent Cloud combines our speech AI with
world-class real-time infrastructure, enabling enterprises to build voice AI experiences
that scale globally with low latency and reliability."

Soniox is different: native-speaker accuracy across 60+ languages, true mid-sentence
language switching, and flawless alphanumeric recognition that legacy providers 
still can’t match. For developers building global apps, Soniox is the only option.
