Why Basque matters

800K+

people speak Basque

Basque is spoken across the Basque Country in Spain and France, and is co-official in the Basque Autonomous Community and parts of Navarre. It is a language isolate with no close relatives, and one of Spain's most industrial, high-income regions runs on it.

Reach Basque speakers wherever they are

Supporting Basque lets you serve customers in Bilbao, San Sebastián, and Vitoria-Gasteiz in the language their public services already use, and shows real commitment in a region where language is closely tied to identity.

Basque with a side of Spanish? Handled.

People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Basque speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.

Use cases

What teams build with Basque transcription

Whatever you're building, Basque shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.

Meeting assistants

Public bodies in the Basque Country run meetings in both Euskara and Spanish, so minutes need to capture whichever language each speaker chooses.

Contact centers (CCaaS)

Citizens in the Basque Autonomous Community have the right to be served in Basque, so public and utility service lines handle Basque calls every day.

CCaaS →

Voice agents

Let Basque speakers talk to your product the way they'd talk to a person, with no language menu and no awkward pauses.

Media & content

Public broadcaster EITB runs Basque-language TV and radio, and its archives and new shows need searchable transcripts and subtitles.
