Google’s new AI transcription edits out your ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’
TL;DR
Google has updated Gemini Audio with new transcription capabilities that automatically detect specialized jargon and more than 85 languages. Gemini 3.5 Transcribe is a new addition to the Gemini family that follows the launch of 3.5 Live Translate, and comes as we're still waiting for Google to release the Gemini 3.5 Pro model that it promised to roll out in June.
Nauti's Take
Automatic cleanup could make meeting notes and interview transcripts much easier to use, while also hiding uncertainty or meaningful speech patterns from the original. A small team should first test specialist jargon, multiple speakers, confidential recordings, and whether the output clearly separates a faithful transcript from an edited summary.
