A few things worth knowing

• Languages like Korean, Spanish, and English are especially well supported and very accurate.
• The AI models behind Glossa improve continuously, and those improvements reach you automatically with no action needed on your end.
• A small number of languages aren’t supported yet because the AI models haven’t been trained on them sufficiently, for example Northern Sami and Tigrinya. If a language you need is missing, let us know at info@glossa.live and we’ll pass it along as a request.

A note on songs

Glossa is excellent for sermons, announcements, spoken prayers, and any spoken content. It cannot accurately transcribe songs or worship music, though. The mix of melody, tempo, background instruments, and stretched syllables makes sung lyrics extremely hard to capture. This is an industry-wide limitation of current AI models, not something specific to Glossa, and we don’t bill for songs anyway.
