Why Spanish matters

550M+

people speak Spanish

Spanish is an official language across Spain and most of Latin America, and the most spoken language in the United States after English. One in ten native speakers lives outside a Spanish-speaking country, so the market follows people wherever they move.

Reach Spanish speakers wherever they are

Supporting Spanish lets you serve customers from Mexico to Argentina, reach Hispanic households across the United States, and cover the 45M+ Spanish speakers living in the EU outside Spain, with one product instead of a patchwork of regional ones.

Spanish with a side of English (“Spanglish”)? Handled.

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

Use cases

What teams build with Spanish transcription

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

Meeting assistants

Teams split between Madrid, Mexico City, and Miami meet across very different accents and vocabularies, so notes need to keep every speaker's Spanish intact.

Contact centers (CCaaS)

Nearshore contact centers in Mexico, Colombia, and Central America handle Spanish support for US and Latin American brands, at volumes QA teams can't review manually.

CCaaS →

Voice agents

Two-thirds of US Hispanics speak Spanish at home, so callers often switch to English mid-call, and voice agents have to follow both.

Voice agents →

Media & content

Spanish is the second most common language of web content after English, and creators need subtitles that work for viewers from Spain to Latin America.
