Rev.ai multilingual limitations: why global teams switch to Gladia
Blog post from Gladia
Global teams are increasingly switching from Rev.ai to Gladia due to limitations in Rev.ai's multilingual capabilities, which pose significant product risks in real-world applications. Rev.ai supports over 58 languages but often struggles with accuracy in noisy audio and code-switching, particularly outside of its English-centric architecture. This can lead to higher Word Error Rates (WER), user complaints, and increased engineering efforts to address transcription regressions. Despite the introduction of the Reverb ASR model with improved accuracy for English, Rev.ai's coverage for non-English languages and regional accents remains limited, affecting its effectiveness in diverse markets like Latin America and South Asia. In contrast, Gladia's Solaria-1 model boasts native support for over 100 languages, including many not covered by other APIs, with automatic code-switching and a pricing model that integrates core features without additional costs. This comprehensive language support and accuracy in handling accented and multilingual audio make Gladia a more reliable choice for companies operating in global voice application markets.
