Te reo Māori is an official language of New Zealand and the country's most spoken language after English. Decades of revitalization have brought it into schools, government, and broadcasting, and speaker numbers have risen at each recent census.
Supporting Māori lets organizations across New Zealand serve iwi, Māori communities, and the growing number of te reo learners in the language of their choice, from public agencies to schools and broadcasters.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Maori speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Maori shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
New Zealand agencies and iwi organizations often open hui with karakia and mihi in te reo before moving into English, so notes need both.
Meeting assistants →Turn every Maori support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.
CCaaS →Let Maori speakers talk to your product the way they'd talk to a person, with no language menu and no awkward pauses.
Voice agents →Twenty-one iwi radio stations broadcast in te reo across New Zealand, and some have spent decades recording and archiving their native speakers.
