Speech-to-text API with real-time and async transcription
Updated
Gladia is a speech-to-text API for developers building voice products. It offers asynchronous and real-time transcription with speaker diarization and word-level timestamps across more than 100 languages.
Developers send audio to the Gladia API as a file for asynchronous transcription or as a live stream for real-time transcription. The response returns text with word-level timestamps and speaker labels. Customers pay from a prepaid credit wallet with optional auto top-up.
Gladia is aimed at developers and product teams adding transcription to apps, meeting tools and call platforms. The Starter tier caps concurrency at 30 real-time and 25 async requests, while Growth and Enterprise are flexible or unlimited.
Starter is pay-as-you-go at $0.61 per hour async and $0.75 per hour real-time. Growth is commitment-based from $0.20 per hour async and $0.25 real-time, and Enterprise is custom.
Alternatives include Cartesia for voice models, Hume AI for emotion-aware voice and Respeecher for voice cloning.
