Get your Spanish contact center ready for Ley 10/2025 with Nova-3

Deepgram adds Basque and Galician transcription to Nova-3 alongside Catalan, with EU endpoint and self-hosted availability for live and recorded calls. Catalan support also arrives in early access for Flux speech models, helping customer service teams serve Spain’s co-official languages.
Nearly 20 million people in Spain live in a region with a second official language: Catalan, Valencian, Galician, Basque, or Aranese. When they call customer service, many of them can still only get help in Spanish.

That is about to change.

Under Ley 10/2025, a customer in one of those regions can ask to be served in its co-official language, on every channel, and companies have until December 28, 2026, to make it work inside the same three-minute answer targets as every other call. The law applies whether customer service is in-house or outsourced, so if you run, build, or power customer service lines for essential services or large consumer brands in Spain, you will be responsible for meeting that mark.

Deepgram Nova-3 now has dedicated Basque and Galician models next to Catalan, on our EU endpoint and in self-hosted deployments, so you can understand those callers through a single API.

What you need to know

Ley 10/2025 covers every utility, telecom, passenger transport, postal, and financial services company in Spain, whatever its size, plus large consumer-facing companies, and they have until December 28, 2026, to adapt.

The law applies whether customer service is run in-house or by a third party, so providers of contact center services, platforms, and voice agents to these companies will be expected to serve callers in their co-official language and reply in the language they used.

Nova-3 now transcribes Basque (eu), Galician (gl), Catalan (ca), and Valencian (via the Catalan model) for both recorded and live calls on api.deepgram.com, on the EU endpoint api.eu.deepgram.com, and as self-hosted model files.

You switch languages with one query parameter, and your existing API keys keep working.

This post covers what the law asks of your automated channels, what Deepgram covers now, and what is still on the way. It is not legal advice, so check your own obligations with your legal team.

Understand what Ley 10/2025 requires

Ley 10/2025 applies regardless of the communication channel. For anyone running voice, that puts every call in scope, whether a person, a phone menu, or a voice agent answers. The full text of Ley 10/2025 has the details, and these are the parts that matter most to a contact center:

Language. A customer in a region with a co-official language can ask to be served in it, as long as the company operates there, and the reply has to come back in the language they used. The law applies on every channel, so plan for voice agents and phone menus to work in these languages too. Co-official languages are set by each region’s statute of autonomy and include Catalan, Valencian, Galician, Basque, and Aranese. (Aragonese and Asturian are protected regional languages, but not co-official, so they are not covered under Ley 10/2025.)

Answer times. Phone wait times are capped at three minutes on average. Callers over 65 and people with disabilities get priority, and companies can’t cut off a call because the wait is long.

A human on request. A customer can always ask to speak to a person, so your voice agent needs a clean handover path, and 95% of requests to be transferred to a person must take place under three minutes. If an unhappy customer asks to speak with a supervisor and the transfer can’t happen within three minutes, the company can call back the same working day.

Resolution deadlines. Queries, complaints, and incidents must be resolved within 15 working days, unless sector rules set a different deadline. Billing disputes must get a response within five days, and questions about outages of essential services such as energy, water, or telecoms within two hours.

Records and audits. When a customer consents, calls must be recorded and the company can keep either the recording or its transcript until the customer is informed of the outcome. Every year (or every two years for smaller companies), companies have to hire an auditor accredited by ENAC, Spain’s national accreditation body, to check that the customer service measurements they publish are within 5% of real values.

Meet each requirement with Nova-3

The transcript Nova-3 produces on every call helps you meet these obligations and show that you met them.

Here is how it helps with each requirement:

Language. Transcribe Catalan (Valencian included), Basque, and Galician calls in real time, so your voice agent understands the caller and any person who takes over sees what was already said.

Answer times. Route callers using these languages straight to the right queue, which helps calls stay inside the three-minute target and makes sure those who say they’re over 65 or have a disability get to the priority queue.

A human on request. Catch the request for a person in any of these languages the moment it’s said, and pass the live transcript to the agent so the customer doesn’t have to repeat themselves.

Resolution deadlines. Use the transcript to tag every call by topic and flag outages, billing disputes, and complaints as they happen, so each one starts on the right clock.

Records and audits. Give your QA and compliance teams a transcript of every call that shows how each request was handled and in which language, and use it as evidence for the annual audit.

Keep call audio in the EU or on your own servers

Though Ley 10/2025 doesn’t say where call audio has to be processed, most Spanish enterprises want call audio to stay in the EU. The Deepgram EU endpoint at api.eu.deepgram.com processes requests inside the EU and never falls back to another region, and the Basque and Galician models are available there for both batch and streaming. You keep the same API key and change two things: the host and the language parameter.

This request sends a recorded Basque call to Nova-3 on the EU endpoint. Grab a key from a free Deepgram account first.

curl -X POST "https://api.eu.deepgram.com/v1/listen?model=nova-3&language=eu" \ -H "Authorization: Token $DEEPGRAM_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: audio/wav" \ --data-binary @basque_call.wav

For a live call, open a WebSocket to the same host and pass language=gl for Galician or language=eu for Basque. A typical streaming request looks like this:

wss://api.eu.deepgram.com/v1/listen?model=nova-3&language=gl&encoding=mulaw&sample_rate=8000

Call Deepgram from your own server and send the key in the Authorization header, as in the examples above. Never put it in browser code or in a URL, where it ends up in logs and history.

The regional endpoints guide can also show you the SDK setup for Python and JavaScript if you would rather use an SDK client (instead of cURL requests) for the EU host.

Additional questions

Can I run the Basque and Galician models on my own infrastructure (self-hosted)?

Yes. The Nova-3 Basque and Galician models ship as model files for self-hosted deployments, in batch and streaming versions. Ask your Deepgram account team to add them to your license, and your existing self-hosted setup can serve language=eu and language=gl alongside the Nova-3 models you already run.

How do I route a call to the right language?

Route on what you already know: the region of the phone number, the language the customer picked in the IVR, or their saved preference in your CRM. Pass that as the language parameter when the call starts. A caller in Bilbao who chose Basque gets language=eu, and a caller in Santiago who chose Galician gets language=gl.

What’s the best way to test Nova-3’s capabilities?

Pick the region where most of your co-official language calls come from, point a test batch of recordings at Nova-3 on the EU endpoint with the right language code, and compare the transcripts with what your agents heard. Create a free Deepgram account to get an API key.

Help shape our roadmap for Spain’s languages

At the time of writing, Nova-3 covers Catalan (ca), Basque (eu), and Galician (gl), and Valencian is served by the Catalan model. For callers who switch languages mid-call, Nova-3’s multilingual mode (language=multi) listens for 55 languages at once, including Spanish, Catalan, and Galician, and tags each word with its language, so you don’t have to pick the language up front. Multilingual mode runs on our cloud API today, with self-hosted support on the way. Basque isn’t one of its languages yet, so Basque calls run on their own with language=eu.

For voice agents, both Deepgram Flux STT, our conversational speech model, and Deepgram Flux TTS, our text-to-speech model, now support Catalan in early access. For Basque and Galician, anything your system says back will still need recorded prompts, a person, or your current voice provider. Tell your account team which languages and channels matter most to you, because that feedback sets our priorities.

MacWhisper

15.10

MacWhisper improves meeting and app audio recording, shows speaker identification progress earlier, and fixes watch-folder transcription, dictation, crashes, and command-line errors for a more reliable experience.
Improvements

Meetings: MacWhisper can't keep recording an app after it quits or restarts. Instead of carrying on with a silent recording, it now ends the meeting recording when the app quits, saves what was captured to your history and lets you know, so you can start a new recording once the app is back in the call.

App audio recording: When the app you are recording quits, the recording now stops and keeps what was captured.

Speaker detection: Transcription progress now includes identifying speakers, instead of doing all of the speaker recognition at the 99% mark.

Neural Engine: MacWhisper now handles a Neural Engine failure during a transcription differently.

Meetings: Clarified the message shown when a meeting recording stops because the disk is full.

Bugfixes

Fixed: Cleanup tools that clear the shared temporary folder could remove a recording while it was being made. Recordings in progress are now kept in MacWhisper's own folder, and leftover files are cleared after 30 days.

Fixed the watch folder "Transcribe now?" notification so it transcribes just the new file, including files added to subfolders.

Fixed: Clicking a watch folder notification itself, rather than its Transcribe button, did not start the transcription.

Fixed: After MacWhisper was updated while open, watch folders could show an error asking you to restart for every new file and stop transcribing automatically.

Fixed a crash that could happen partway through transcribing a file or recording with a WhisperKit or WhisperKit Pro model.

Fixed a recent issue with dictation in Electron apps, such as Obsidian.

Fixed a "CLI socket path exceeds maximum length" error when running the mw command-line tool from some terminal apps.

Deepgram Marketplace: Voice AI’s open ecosystem

Deepgram launches an open marketplace where voice AI builders can discover vetted partners across models, platforms, testing, audio, telephony, security, avatars, and health signals. It aims to make building a best-of-breed voice stack easier while preserving provider choice.
Voice AI belongs on an open foundation. Teams building voice agents need the freedom to choose the best providers for each layer of their stack, and the flexibility to swap them out when something better ships. That openness breeds innovation, but juggling multiple vendors or even finding the right ones in the first place, can quickly undermine it.

A team putting a support agent on the phone might need one company to test how it handles interruptions, another to clean up calls from noisy kitchens, another to connect to the phone network, and another to keep card numbers safe. Each one starts a new search with a vendor to vet, a contract to sign, and a bill to manage. Multiplied across every part of an agent, this kind of overhead has pushed developers toward closed systems for years, even when it meant locking into someone else’s choices.

Deepgram Marketplace, aunching today, offers another path. It provides the flexibility of an open ecosystem without the friction of sourcing every piece yourself. Builders can find the capabilities a production voice agent needs beyond Deepgram in a single catalog and later, through shared credits, eligible customers will be able use their Deepgram commitment on partner products with one contract and monthly statement.

Why a marketplace belongs in an open strategy

We believe the future of voice AI has to be open source, and we're building toward it one step at a time. The first was bringing the Daily team and Pipecat into Deepgram and promising to keep the framework open source and vendor neutral. The marketplace is the next. It carries the same openness from the code to the providers developers buy from, as an open voice AI marketplace built to make choice easy and accessible.

“Voice is quickly becoming the primary way people interact with software, and the builders creating that future need a place to find each other. Joining the Deepgram Marketplace puts Coval alongside the companies shaping how voice agents are built and deployed. Together, we're making it faster for developers and enterprises to go from idea to production-ready voice experiences, whether that's a customer service agent, a clinical assistant, or something no one has imagined yet. We're proud to help grow this community and can't wait to see what it builds."

Brooke Hopkins
Founder & CEO | Coval

The catalog covers a range of voice capabilities and partner types, from products and integrations to service partners, so builders can look across the ecosystem and find what fits their needs. We review every listing before it goes live, which makes the marketplace a trusted source of options for anyone building a voice AI stack. Partners set their own prices and support their own products.

“Giving developers access to specialized voice AI models helps them build voice experiences that solve real-world challenges. We’re excited to join the Deepgram Marketplace and help more teams bring natural, real-time voice experiences to their customers.”

Robert Schoenfield
EVP Licensing and Partnerships | Krisp

This is what a level playing field looks like. You can see which partners integrate with Deepgram, and you're free to choose ones that don't. When options are easily available, nobody gets pushed into a choice they don’t want to make, and the best products earn their place on merit. That puts a best-of-breed voice AI stack within reach of every builder.

Who's in it at launch

The Deepgram Marketplace is launching with 19 partners across 8 categories, including:

Cartesia and Inworld in voice models

Vapi and LiveKit in voice agent platforms

Bluejay, Cekura, Coval, and Hamming in testing and evaluation

ai-coustics and Krisp in audio enhancement

Twilio, jambonz, Vonage, and UniSpeech in telephony and voice platforms

Fortanix and SottoAI in security and trust

LemonSlice and Tavus in avatars and video

thymia in health signals

If you build for voice AI developers and would like to be included, you can submit your product for review and listing through the Deepgram Marketplace partner program.

Keeping voice AI open

I’ve spent my time at Deepgram working with partners because voice AI advances fastest when we all push the frontier together. Our commitment to the voice AI community is to keep moving the field forward with our own products and to keep the marketplace open, so innovation and healthy competition happen on equal terms. That makes voice AI better for everyone building it, Deepgram included.
