About Gladia

Gladia was founded in 2022 by Jean-Louis Quéguiner, former VP Research & Innovation @OVHcloud, with a specific mission: to help companies leverage cutting-edge AI and retrieve actionable insights from audio data.

We raised $16M in Series A from top investors (XAnge, Illuminate Financial, XTX Ventures etc.) to build the ultimate audio AI infrastructure for voice-first platform.

Our raison d’être is to empower any voice-first companies enabling them to easily integrate our transcription capabilities into their products, regardless of language, industry, or tech stack. Our API supports advanced speech recognition and analysis features in over 100 languages, with exceptional accuracy and speed. Typical use cases are center solutions, note-taking assistant and meeting recorder.

We firmly believe that real-time AI represents the next frontier, poised to transform a multitude of industries.

At Gladia, we tackle ambitious technical challenges to support rapid growth, scaling from 500 hours to 3 million hours of transcription. As pioneers in speech-to-text technology, we’ve developed a Real-time Transcription API delivering batch-level quality with <300 ms latency across 100+ languages.
