What it does

Key features

  • Speaker diarization: APAC multi-speaker attribution — who said what in meetings
  • Automatic translation: APAC multilingual audio → English text in one API call
  • Real-time streaming: APAC live captions and low-latency voice application transcription
  • Word timestamps: APAC word-level timing for search and highlight features
  • Audio intelligence: APAC sentiment, topic, summary, and entity extraction
  • Whisper-powered: APAC production quality with API convenience layer
When to reach for it

Best for

  • APAC developers building meeting intelligence platforms, call analytics tools, and voice AI applications that need speaker diarization and multilingual transcription with a production API — particularly APAC teams that need translation combined with transcription for multilingual APAC audio sources.
Don't get burned

Limitations to know

  • ! APAC dialect and accent accuracy varies — test with target language samples before committing
  • ! Cloud-only: no on-premise APAC deployment for data sovereignty requirements
  • ! APAC cost scales with audio minutes — budget for high-volume call center workloads
Context

About Gladia

Gladia is a speech-to-text API platform giving APAC developers fast, accurate audio transcription with speaker diarization, automatic translation, and real-time streaming — combining Whisper-based transcription quality with production API features that raw Whisper lacks. APAC meeting intelligence platforms, call analytics tools, and voice AI applications use Gladia as their audio transcription backend when they need more than basic STT.

Gladia's speaker diarization identifies who spoke when in multi-speaker APAC audio — separating meeting participants by voice, labeling each utterance with a speaker ID, and enabling downstream analytics that require per-speaker attribution. APAC call centers use diarization to separate agent and customer speech in call recordings, enabling per-speaker quality analysis and compliance monitoring.

Gladia's automatic translation converts APAC audio to English text in a single API call — processing Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, Thai, and other APAC languages with transcription and translation combined. APAC enterprises with multilingual meeting recordings use Gladia to produce English-language meeting summaries from APAC-language source audio without separate translation pipeline steps.

Gladia's real-time streaming mode transcribes live audio with low-latency partial results — enabling APAC applications to display live captions during video calls, transcribe phone calls as they happen, and power real-time voice AI applications where transcription latency directly affects user experience. APAC video conferencing integrations and voice AI backends use Gladia's WebSocket streaming for live transcription.
