Why Icelandic matters

380K+

people speak Icelandic

Icelandic is the national language of Iceland. Because global tech often skips small languages, the Icelandic government funds a national program to keep Icelandic usable in software, speech recognition, and voice apps.

Reach Icelandic speakers wherever they are

Supporting Icelandic lets you serve customers across Iceland in their own language, where many companies have relied on English-only chatbots and support tools.

Icelandic with a side of English? Handled.

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

Use cases

What teams build with Icelandic transcription

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

Meeting assistants

Capture every Icelandic meeting, without anyone scrambling to take notes. Accurate transcripts, speaker labels, and timestamps.

Meeting assistants →

Contact centers (CCaaS)

Iceland's language technology program names company service centers as a core use for Icelandic speech recognition, so support calls are an obvious target.

CCaaS →

Voice agents

Mainstream voice assistants rarely support Icelandic, which is why the government funded open Icelandic speech tools so local voice apps could exist.

Voice agents →

Media & content

Make Icelandic podcasts, videos, and broadcasts searchable and subtitled, and reach audiences in other languages through translation.
