What we’ve heard from teams

migrating off Deepgram

Dozens of teams have shared their Deepgram migration stories with us. Anonymized for privacy, their feedback surfaces consistent, real-world pain points worth considering.

Poor multilingual & code-switching support
“The issue with Deepgram is they don’t really have solid multilingual or auto code-switching support.”
Language detection inconsistencies
“Sometimes Deepgram tagged English calls as Hindi (70% of the time).”
Accent & entity recognition issues
“Accents throw it off completely.”
Accent & entity recognition issues
“When users spell names or emails, for example firstname.lastname@gmail.com, it just can’t handle it.”
Concurrency & flexibility limits
“We quickly hit a limit when spelling names or numbers. The model just started outputting random words.”
Support & onboarding friction
“They’re not easy to work with. The process feels rigid, and they push big commitments upfront.”
Accent & entity recognition issues
“Their name and email recognition just wasn’t great.”
Reliability challenges
“If you lock the language, it won’t transcribe anything else. If you try multi-mode, it only does English and Spanish. Language detection only works on clips, not live audio. It’s frustrating.”
Support & onboarding friction
“It took months to implement. We sent thousands of emails trying to fix issues. We were just done.”

Privacy shouldn’t be a premium

At Gladia, data privacy is non-negotiable. We never use your audio to retrain our models, and we don’t believe in charging extra for peace of mind.

Deepgram’s model retraining policy means your conversations can be used to improve their AI unless you pay to opt out.

We think that’s wrong. Your data is not a bargaining chip.
