The new model isn’t just better at hearing the words you say; it’s also supposedly better at getting to the heart of what you meant to say. As you speak, Gemini 3.5 Transcribe can remove the awkward “ums” and “uhs” that clutter your stream of consciousness. It can also edit text on the fly if you need to correct yourself and refer to your provided custom vocabulary to handle “specialized jargon.” All this works in 85 languages and with up to three speakers in pre-recorded audio.
The drawback, of course, is that you’re relying on the AI to accurately get the gist of your speech. For short blocks of text, the model seems good at cleaning up inconsistencies and verbal stumbles (based on my testing with Rambler), but the AI does technically change the wording of what you said, and that may not be appropriate for all situations.
