We all ramble, backtrack, and stumble over our words when we speak out loud. Google‘s new Gemini 3.5 Transcribe is built keeping our imperfect speech in mind. Announced as the company’s most precise speech-to-text model yet, it takes your messy, unpolished speech and turns it into clean, formatted text without expecting you to sound like a news anchor first.
It arrives alongside two companion models, Gemini 3.5 Live and Gemini 3.5 Live Experimental, and together the three make up what Google is branding “Gemini Audio.”

How Gemini 3.5 Transcribe cleans up your speech
The model automatically strips out filler words like “um” and “ah,” so your transcribed text doesn’t carry every verbal hiccup. It also catches self-corrections in real time, so if you say “let’s meet Tuesday, no wait, Wednesday,” it understands you meant Wednesday and adjusts accordingly. You can also edit your text using nothing but your voice.
The model can also delegate tasks like image generation or file analysis to other Gemini models through function calling, a capability currently live in the Gemini app on macOS.

Google reports strong accuracy numbers to back this up, with a word error rate of just 4% for real-time streaming and 2.6% for pre-recorded audio, plus support for more than 85 languages, regional accents, and specialized jargon. It can even attribute speech to up to three different speakers in a recording, complete with timestamps.
Which Google apps have Gemini 3.5 Transcribe already
Google
This model isn’t sitting in a lab somewhere. It already powers Rambler, the dictation feature on Android’s Gboard, along with the Gemini app on macOS. Chrome support is coming soon, which will let you dictate directly into any web field.
Developers can access it now in Google AI Studio and Antigravity, Google agentic coding platform. Enterprise users access it through the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. It’s also expanding into Search Live, Gemini Live, Docs, Keep, and Gmail. So the next time you’re rambling into your phone, Gemini might just understand you better than you understand yourself.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra might not see much of a battery upgrade after all
It looks like it will stay the same as the last five years.
What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
