Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is permissively licensed. Install it if you are building a LiveKit Agents application and need Gladia's speech-to-text capabilities; it is the intended integration point for that use case. Verify that Gladia's pricing and language support meet your requirements before committing.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a Gladia API key, set via GLADIA_API_KEY environment variable or passed directly.
- Requires Python >=3.10.0.
- Low install friction; pure Python wheel with three lightweight runtime dependencies (aiohttp, livekit-agents, numpy).

What it is and what it does
This package bridges Gladia's speech-to-text service into the LiveKit Agents framework, allowing you to add real-time transcription to LiveKit-based applications. It wraps Gladia's API with a streaming interface that handles audio input and returns transcriptions, with support for interim (partial) results as speech is being recognized.
The plugin exposes Gladia's feature set—multi-language recognition, code-switching between languages during a single utterance, voice activity detection with energy filtering, and optional real-time translation—through a simple initialization and update interface. You configure it with language preferences, audio parameters (sample rate, bit depth, encoding), and optional translation targets, then pass it to a LiveKit Agent as its STT provider. It depends on aiohttp for HTTP communication, livekit-agents for the framework integration, and numpy for audio processing.
Use it for
- Build a multilingual LiveKit agent that automatically recognizes and transcribes speech in multiple languages without manual language selection.
- Add real-time translation to a LiveKit video call, transcribing speech and translating it to a target language on the fly.
- Implement voice activity detection in a LiveKit agent to filter background noise and only process actual speech.
- Create a custom vocabulary for domain-specific terms (e.g., product names, proper nouns) to improve transcription accuracy in specialized applications.
- Use interim results to show partial transcriptions to users as they speak, improving perceived responsiveness in real-time communication.
