Meet Gradient’s Audio Transcription API
Data is often stored in a variety of formats, including audio which is used across uses cases like content creation to virtual meetings and call centers. However more than 80% of audio data goes unused, highlighting a substantial opportunity to transform unstructured data into untapped potential for enterprise organizations.
To solve this, we’re excited to introduce our newest addition to our Agent Toolkit - Gradient’s Audio Transcription API. Simply upload the file you want to transcribe, and our audio transcription API will return a near perfect extraction of the text from the audio.
At the moment, English is the only language that’s supported but we’re working on providing support for the following languages in the near future: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch. To get started, check out our developer documentation or test drive it for free on our playground.

Explore Real World Examples
Audio transcription can be used across the industry from healthcare to financial services. Take a look at some of the examples we’re seeing businesses use audio transcription today.
Virtual Meetings: A lot can be said during a meeting, podcast, webinar or conference. Whether you’re a healthcare provider meeting with a patient over Zoom or a consultant advising a client on an ongoing project, audio data can provide tremendous ROI to a business if used appropriately. When it comes to virtual meetings, we’re seeing that most businesses use our API to unlock new features to improve productivity including: automated note taking, semantic search or analytics.
Collaboration Across Teams: When you meet with other teams, often times a designated note-taker is assigned to ensure important details are not lost during the conversation. With Gradient’s audio transcription API, teams can now record their meetings and automate the transcription. This will enable higher productivity and transparency - enabling teams to view meeting notes, action items, and important details at their own convenience.
Customer Support: Customer support calls are some of the most important conversations, identifying customer pain points and common issues that may need to be addressed upfront. With Gradient's audio transcription API, businesses can efficiently transcribe large volumes of calls, enabling them to monitor customer interactions for compliance, training, and quality assurance purposes effectively.
