Japanese is spoken almost entirely in Japan, one of the world's largest economies. Japanese consumers expect service in their own language, which makes local-language support a requirement rather than a bonus.
Supporting Japanese lets you serve customers across Japan and reach Japanese-speaking communities in Brazil, Hawaii, and California, home to some of the largest Japanese populations outside Japan.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Japanese speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Japanese shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Japanese meetings shift between polite keigo and casual speech depending on who is talking, so notes need to capture meaning across both registers.
Meeting assistants →Japanese customers expect highly polite, precise support, so QA teams need to check every call for the right honorifics and tone.
CCaaS →Japanese has many words that sound the same but use different kanji, so voice agents need context to pick the right meaning.
Voice agents →Anime and Japanese dramas reach fans worldwide, and studios and streamers need accurate transcripts to subtitle fast for overseas releases.
Media →Supported languages
Being multilingual has been our priority since day one. Gladia supports 100 languages, with code-switching and automatic language detection integrated into all models by default.
Ship Japanese voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
