Google announced Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, a model designed to streamline voice input by editing out disfluencies and corrections. Already powering the Gboard "Rambler" feature on Pixel 11, it will expand across the Google ecosystem. The new model is approximately 70% faster than its predecessor, Chirp 3, reducing the live-speech error rate from 7.32% to 5.5%.
