Real-time and async Tamil speech-to-text API that keeps up with how people actually talk. Handles regional accents, fast speech, and code-switching mid-sentence. Live in production in under a day.
85M+
Tamil is an official language in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, and Singapore, with large communities in Malaysia, Canada, and the UK. Chennai, its biggest city, is a major hub for IT, auto manufacturing, and outsourcing.
Supporting Tamil lets you serve customers across Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, and reach Tamil diaspora communities in Singapore, Malaysia, Toronto, and London, from a single product.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Tamil speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Tamil shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Capture every Tamil meeting, without anyone scrambling to take notes. Accurate transcripts, speaker labels, and timestamps.
Meeting assistants →Chennai's outsourcing centers and Tamil Nadu's banks and telecoms handle large volumes of Tamil support calls that QA teams can't review one by one.
CCaaS →Spoken Tamil differs sharply from formal written Tamil in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, so voice agents need to understand how people actually talk.
Voice agents →Tamil cinema and streaming draw audiences from Chennai to Colombo, Singapore, and Toronto, and subtitles help reach diaspora and non-Tamil viewers.
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 Tamil voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
