Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, and several other countries on four continents. Brazil alone is Latin America's largest economy, which makes Portuguese one of the most important voice markets in the world.
Supporting Portuguese lets you serve customers from São Paulo to Lisbon and reach growing markets in Angola and Mozambique, with one product instead of separate regional builds.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Portuguese speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Portuguese shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Teams split between São Paulo and Lisbon hear very different accents and vocabulary, so notes need to keep both versions of Portuguese accurate.
Meeting assistants →Brazilian banks, telecoms, and e-commerce players run large contact center operations, with far more calls than QA teams can review manually.
CCaaS →Brazilians lean heavily on WhatsApp voice notes, so customers are used to speaking to businesses rather than typing.
Voice agents →Brazilian telenovelas and creators draw huge audiences across the Portuguese-speaking world, and subtitles help them reach viewers from Portugal to Mozambique.
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 Portuguese voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
