Why Malagasy matters

25M+

people speak Malagasy

Malagasy is the national language of Madagascar and one of its two official languages, alongside French. Most of the island speaks it as a first language, and it is the language of instruction in public primary schools.

Reach Malagasy speakers wherever they are

Supporting Malagasy lets you serve customers across Madagascar, from Antananarivo to Toamasina, and reach Malagasy-speaking communities in the Comoros, Mayotte, and France.

Malagasy with a side of French? Handled.

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

Use cases

What teams build with Malagasy transcription

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

Meeting assistants

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

Meeting assistants →

Contact centers (CCaaS)

Antananarivo's call centers serve French brands in French and local customers in Malagasy, so QA teams need coverage across both kinds of calls.

CCaaS →

Voice agents

Malagasy speakers often switch to French for numbers, dates, and technical terms, so voice agents need to follow both.

Voice agents →

Media & content

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