.@gladia_io announced their new Solaria speech-to-text model today.

I hear so, so many rave reviews about Gladia from people building French-language voice AI agents.

Gladia's new model supports more than 100 languages. The language auto-detection is the best I've seen from any speech model.

You can configure Gladia to translate whatever language is spoken into a target language. In this video I start out speaking English and then switch to (terrible, terrible) French. You can see that Gladia "transcribes" both English and French to English.

🧵 with a live demo you can try out, plus code for the demo, and more links ...
