Gladia Launches Solaria, the First Fully Multilingual, Next-Generation Speech-to-Text Model for Global Scalability

Published

on

Solaria delivers unmatched accuracy, speed, and native-level transcription in 100 languages—including 42 underserved by any other STT model.

PARIS, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Gladia, an AI transcription and audio intelligence provider, today announced the launch of Solaria, a next-gen automatic speech recognition (ASR) model designed to redefine real-time communications for call centers and other voice-first platforms.

While outsourcing has long been a cost reduction strategy in the call center industry, businesses now face a new, critical challenge: providing seamless, multilingual support at scale. With 49% of global executives reporting financial losses due to language barriers1, the demand for scalable, high-quality multilingual solutions has never been greater. Solaria now empowers businesses to enhance and expand their customer service operations with AI-powered voice technology that delivers unmatched language coverage—supporting 40+ languages previously inaccessible with other solutions—without compromising quality or speed.

Solaria: An Enterprise-Ready Model for Global Customer Experience

The only speech-to-text (STT) engine built for true global scalability, Solaria was designed to meet the demands of today’s contact centers, where both AI automation and human agents need high-accuracy, low-latency, and real-time multilingual support to succeed.

The model achieves industry-leading results in speech recognition, delivering both unmatched accuracy and ultra-fast processing speed. Recent benchmarks show Solaria has reached an unmatched 94% Word Accuracy Rate (WAR) average in English, Spanish, French and other common languages, while maintaining an ultra-low latency of 270 ms, making the conversation feel natural and responsive.

While real-time STT is often measured by speed alone, accuracy and language coverage are equally crucial for businesses providing seamless services across regions.

Unlike other STT models that prioritize speed over usability, Solaria balances industry-leading accuracy and speed with unmatched language coverage—100 languages in total, with exclusive support for 42 languages not matched by competitors. For high-population markets and key outsourcing hubs like Bangladesh, India, and The Philippines, native-level accuracy in regional languages is now offered through Solaria.

With native-level transcription, real-time code-switching, and translation across all supported languages, businesses can expand into global markets without constraints.

Designed for enterprise-scale voice automation, Solaria delivers:

Best-in-class accuracy in high-population languages such as Tagalog, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Urdu, Persian, and Marathi.Ability to adapt the model to industry-specific terminology (like medical or financial jargon) and have it extract critical data, like names, addresses, and numericals.Adaptive speech processing, ensuring high accuracy in noisy call center environments.Enterprise-grade data security, in full compliance with GDRP, HIPPA, and SOC 2.

With the addition of Solaria to its product portfolio, Gladia allows businesses to enhance customer service by improving AI-powered voice agents, making IVRs and virtual assistants more reliable across multiple languages, while also optimizing human-assisted workflows with real-time transcriptions and translations to help agents provide more effective assistance.

“Speech is the most natural way to connect with the world—for the first time, automated speech recognition is closing the divide, enabling humans and AI to truly speak the same language,” said Jean-Louis Quéguiner, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Gladia. “With Solaria, we have made a breakthrough in AI-powered voice technology that unlocks new opportunities for businesses, driving efficiency and delivering more seamless, impactful customer experiences across diverse languages and markets. Solaria is built for next-generation voice platforms ready to lead this transformation on a global scale.”

Serving more than 700 enterprise customers worldwide, including Attention, Circleback, Method Financial, and VEED.IO, Gladia delivers enterprise-grade service and scalability, backed by dedicated support and infrastructure in the U.S. and Europe, guaranteeing reliable performance for mission-critical applications. Companies looking to scale globally, optimize operational costs, and enhance customer experiences can start building with Gladia’s API today.

This gives developers global language capabilities out of the box through seamless integration with Gladia’s API.

Following its $16M Series A round in 2024 and today’s rollout of Solaria, Gladia has taken another critical step toward establishing itself as a leading end-to-end API audio infrastructure provider—combining speech recognition, generative AI, and voice generation capabilities to help enterprise users and developers tap into the full potential of real-time audio data.

Greenzie releases 2025 Annual Safety Report, documenting multi-year safety performance at commercial scale

Published

on

By

The data shows zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses across real-world operation

ATLANTA, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenzie, the technology platform powering commercial autonomy across multiple OEMs, today shared multi-year safety data from real-world commercial operation, documenting more than 150,000 autonomous miles with zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses. The data is published in Greenzie’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, available at greenzie.com/safety.

The report is based on extensive operational data spanning more than 5.4 billion square feet of turf mowed, 68,000+ hours of autonomous mowing and more than 50,000 operator days, the equivalent of 265 mowing seasons.

“Greenzie is helping define safety in autonomous landscape operations, and transparency is a critical part of that,” said Steve Bush, chief operating officer of Greenzie. “These results show that commercial autonomy is operating safely at meaningful scale in the field. Transparency matters because as this category matures, real-world data helps build confidence in what responsible deployment looks like.”

The report’s findings are particularly significant in the context of the U.S. landscaping industry, which employs roughly 1.3 million workers and experiences a higher-than-average rate of workplace accidents compared to other fields. Greenzie’s multi-year operating data shows that autonomy is not theoretical; it is already being deployed consistently and performing safely at scale.

“Greenzie Powered Autonomy™ has been validated through years of sustained use in the field,” Bush said. “That level of real-world performance reinforces both the reliability of our platform and the broader readiness of commercial autonomy.”

Greenzie attributes this performance to a disciplined safety approach that includes robust perception, tested operating standards and continuous validation in real-world commercial environments.

About Greenzie

Founded in 2018, Greenzie is the technology platform powering commercial autonomy. Created to solve the landscape industry’s labor and productivity challenges, Greenzie works with leading equipment manufacturers to deliver the software, navigation and safety systems that enable mowing and other outdoor power equipment to operate autonomously in real-world commercial environments. Today, Greenzie’s platform is running on hundreds of machines in active use, helping manufacturers bring autonomy to market and allowing operators to get more done with limited labor—moving autonomy from early experimentation to everyday operations.
