Gemini APIs Add Blazing-Fast Live Speech Translation in Google AI Studio
DynamicWebPaige · x · 2026-10-21
Google has shipped live speech translation in the Gemini APIs and Google AI Studio. DevRel engineer Dynamic Web Paige demos German-to-English live translation that is "blazingly fast," likening it to the Babelfish from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The capability is not limited to one language pair — English-to-German, Spanish-to-French and many other combinations work, and developers can start building with it today.
