Google Launches Gemini 3.5 Transcribe: Purpose-Built Speech-to-Text With 85+ Languages
jocarrasqueira · x · 2026-08-27
Google has added Gemini 3.5 Transcribe (gemini-3.5-transcribe) to the Gemini API. Unlike prompting general LLMs for speech-to-text, this model is purpose-built: faster, verbatim transcripts without unintended edits or hallucinations, plus word-level timestamps.
Key capabilities:
- Real-time speech and audio file transcription with automatic language identification
- 85+ languages, regional accents and dialects; multi-speaker identification
- Custom vocabulary for jargon and specific spellings; high precision on alphanumerics
- Smart transcription mode: rewrite and format text based on intent, remove filler words like "ums" and "ahs"
