Add translation in one parameter

Skip stitching together transcription and translation APIs. Translate recorded and live audio in one request, with timestamps already aligned.

Send your audio

Upload a file, pass a URL, or open a real-time WebSocket session.

Turn on translation

Set "translation": true, list your target_languages, and choose the base or enhanced model.

Get translated transcripts

Each target language returns its full transcript, utterances, and word timestamps. In live sessions, every utterance is translated as it's finalized.

Read the translation docs

Pick the model for your languages

Translation is only as accurate as the transcript underneath it. Both Gladia models support speech-to-text translation, so pick the one that best transcribes the languages your users speak.

Tune audio translation to your content

Set the model, context, and style per request, because support calls, dubbed video, and translated subtitles each need something different.
