Wolof is the lingua franca of Senegal, spoken by most of the population as a first or second language, and is also widely used in the Gambia and Mauritania. In Dakar, it's the everyday language of business, trade, and the street.
Supporting Wolof lets you serve customers across Senegal, from Dakar to Saint-Louis and Touba, and reach Senegalese communities in France, Italy, and Spain in the language they use every day.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Wolof speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Wolof shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Capture every Wolof meeting, without anyone scrambling to take notes. Accurate transcripts, speaker labels, and timestamps.
Meeting assistants →Turn every Wolof support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.
CCaaS →Wolof is used far more in speech than in writing, so voice is the natural way to reach people who rarely type support requests.
Voice agents →Senegalese radio and TV broadcast widely in Wolof, from news to talk shows, and that programming needs transcripts to be searchable and subtitled.
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 Wolof voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
