Field notes
The developer section presents a JavaScript SDK example and links to documentation, while a sample translation request includes source and target language fields. The page says its API pricing is per 1M characters and emphasizes that tone and diacritics can be passed as inputs. Its listed applications include telephony and WhatsApp voice agents, though the extracted homepage does not establish how those capabilities perform in use.
