What is Gladia

Gladia is a speech-to-text API designed for developers and companies needing accurate and fast audio transcription. It fits into the voice AI category, powering voice agents, customer support, and meeting assistance. What makes it stand out is its support for 100+ languages, low latency under 300ms, and stable, precise transcription even with noisy audio or technical conversations. The tool shines in customer support centers, sales enablement, note-taking, and financial services, where capturing details quickly and accurately is crucial. Users get results almost instantly, with real-time or batch transcription available, helping teams move faster and smarter from day one. Gladia integrates smoothly with CRM systems, telephony workflows, and communication platforms like WebRTC. It connects via REST or WebSocket APIs, making setup fast and easy. However, it’s not meant for hosting models locally or heavy customization of speech models. Instead, it offers a scalable, ready-to-use transcription service to enhance any voice-driven product quickly and reliably.

Gladia is recommended for developers and companies building voice agents, customer support, meeting assistance, and note-taking tools that need accurate, real-time, and multilingual speech-to-text with easy integration and scaling.
