Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and an official language in several Indian states, and it is understood across much of South Asia. Large Urdu-speaking communities in the Gulf, the UK, and North America make it a truly international market.
Supporting Urdu lets you serve customers from Karachi and Lahore to Hyderabad and Lucknow, and reach diaspora communities in Dubai, Birmingham, and Toronto with one language.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Urdu speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
