Translating audio with Lara (audio-to-audio)
Lara supports audio-to-audio translation through a dedicated API, allowing you to translate spoken content directly from one language to another and receive the result as an audio file.
This feature is designed for programmatic and voice-based use cases where both the input and the output are audio.
What is audio-to-audio translation
With audio-to-audio translation:
-
the input is an audio file
-
the output is a translated audio file
-
speech is translated end-to-end without manual intermediate steps
You do not need to separately manage speech-to-text or text-to-speech processes.
Access and availability
Audio-to-audio translation is available through:
-
Lara’s API
-
Lara’s SDKs
This feature is intended for developer and integration use cases and is not available in the Lara web interface.
Supported languages
Audio-to-audio translation supports a wide range of languages and locale variants.
Because language availability depends on the underlying speech capabilities and may evolve over time, the most up-to-date list of supported languages is maintained in the developer documentation.
For the current list of supported languages and locale codes, refer to:
