Khmer is the official language of Cambodia, spoken by the vast majority of its people, with communities in southern Vietnam and northeastern Thailand. It is a mobile-first market where voice already carries much of everyday communication.
Supporting Khmer lets you serve customers across Cambodia and reach Khmer-speaking communities in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, northeastern Thailand, and diaspora hubs like Long Beach, California.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Khmer speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Khmer shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Capture every Khmer meeting, without anyone scrambling to take notes. Accurate transcripts, speaker labels, and timestamps.
Meeting assistants →Turn every Khmer support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.
CCaaS →Typing Khmer script on a phone is slow and fiddly, so many Cambodians already prefer calls and voice notes, and voice agents fit right in.
Voice agents →Cambodia once drove nearly half of Facebook Messenger's global voice-message traffic, so a lot of Khmer content lives in audio rather than text.
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 Khmer voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
