Gemini 3.5 Transcribe Live brings the same transcription family to streaming. It accepts an audio stream, produces text with low latency, recognizes more than 85 languages, and handles code-switching during a session. Smart Dictation and custom vocabulary of up to 1,000 terms extend the live transcript with editorial hints.
A live session lasts up to 10 minutes, and live mode does not support speaker diarization or word-level timestamps. Gemini 3.5 Transcribe is the file endpoint for those annotations, including speaker assignment and word-level alignment.
