Realtime translation
Implements real-time audio translation by streaming source audio to a dedicated endpoint to receive translated audio and transcript deltas via WebRTC or WebSockets.
When To Use
Use when you need to implement live interpretation, multilingual meetings, or real-time audio translation services using WebRTC for browsers or WebSockets for server-side media streams.
