Why Latvian matters

1.5M+

people speak Latvian

Latvian is the official language of Latvia and one of the official languages of the European Union. Spoken by around 1.5 million people, it anchors a small but well-connected market on the Baltic coast.

Reach Latvian speakers wherever they are

Supporting Latvian lets you serve customers in Riga and across Latvia in the state language, and reach Latvian communities that have settled in the UK, Ireland, and Germany.

Latvian with a side of Russian? Handled.

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

Use cases

What teams build with Latvian transcription

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

Meeting assistants

Teams in Riga often move between Latvian, Russian, and English in the same meeting, so notes need to keep every part of the conversation.

Meeting assistants →

Contact centers (CCaaS)

Turn every Latvian support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.

CCaaS →

Voice agents

Latvian distinguishes long and short vowels that change a word's meaning, so voice agents need to hear the difference to get it right.

Voice agents →

Media & content

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