Google AI Releases Gemini 3.5 Transcribe: A Speech-to-Text Model Reporting 2.6% Average WER Across 85+ Languages

MarkTechPost 1 month ago 43 ● 6 sources

Google released Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, adding two API endpoints for speech-to-text: a live streaming model and a non-streaming model for recorded audio. Reported word error rates are 4.0% for streaming and 2.6% for non-streaming, with 70% faster time to final transcription than Chirp 3. Deployment changes because the service is API-only with no open weights or self-host option, and it requires choosing between modes that trade diarization/timestamps for sub-second latency.
