Overview

Gladia provides a speech-to-text API and audio intelligence tools for developers. It delivers real-time and asynchronous transcription across 100+ languages and accents with low latency and aims to minimize errors. A key feature is code-switching, allowing accurate transcription when speakers switch languages. The platform also offers speaker diarization, summarization, sentiment analysis, word-level timestamps, and NER, all via a unified API, targeting B2B in CCaaS, sales enablement, and media, with tiered pricing and plans to evolve into end-to-end audio AI infrastructure.
