Phil Schmid shared hands-on experience with Gemini 3.5 Transcribe. Key metrics: 2.6% WER (non-streaming) and 4.0% (streaming); 70% reduction in final transcription time compared to Chirp 3.
Highlights:
- Intelligently handles disfluencies and self-corrections.
- Strong alphanumeric recognition (e.g., distinguishing . from "Jason").
- Two versions: gemini-3.5-transcribe-live for low-latency streaming and gemini-3.5-transcribe for recorded processing with speaker attribution.
