Korean is the official language of South Korea and North Korea and is spoken by large communities in China, the United States, and Japan. South Korea is one of the world's most connected, tech-forward economies, home to global electronics, auto, and entertainment brands.
Supporting Korean lets you serve customers in Seoul and Busan and reach Korean-speaking communities in Los Angeles, New York, and northeast China, in a market where users expect polished, native-language experiences.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Korean speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Korean shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Korean meetings shift between formal and casual speech levels depending on seniority, so notes need to capture who said what and how.
Meeting assistants →Korean telecoms, banks, and online retailers serve highly demanding customers at scale, and QA teams can't listen to every Korean call manually.
CCaaS →Korean speakers often drop in English loanwords for tech, brands, and business terms, so voice agents need to catch them mid-sentence.
Voice agents →K-dramas, K-pop, and Korean variety shows have global fan bases waiting for subtitles, often within hours of release.
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 Korean voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
