Migrating from Azure Speech to Gladia: a step-by-step switching guide

Published by Gladia, the guide presents a migration path from Azure Speech to Gladia’s cloud-based transcription APIs, arguing that a unified API can consolidate transcription, diarization, translation, sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, summarization, and vocabulary customization that Azure may deliver through separate services and billing meters. It compares the platforms’ batch and real-time interfaces, authentication, language support, data handling, deployment models, and diarization availability, while noting a significant limitation: Gladia does not offer Azure’s on-premises or air-gapped container option. The proposed transition involves benchmarking both systems on representative production audio, estimating costs and compliance requirements, mapping Azure request fields and language locales to Gladia parameters, migrating asynchronous workloads first, then using feature flags and parallel routing to test and fail over live streaming. The guide states that Gladia’s Solaria models are designed for accented, noisy, multilingual, and European business audio without custom model training, while recommending that users independently validate accuracy, latency, output compatibility, uptime, and regulatory fit before retiring Azure resources.
