Google's Gemini Audio now strips filler words such as ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’ from transcriptions, adds specialized‑jargon detection and supports over 85 languages with the new Gemini 3.5 Transcribe.
Google has upgraded its Gemini Audio suite with a new transcription feature that automatically strips filler sounds such as “ums” and “ahs” while recognizing specialized jargon across more than 85 languages. The addition, dubbed Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, expands the Gemini family that recently introduced 3.5 Live Translate.
The enhancement matters because it tackles two long‑standing pain points for users of AI‑driven speech‑to‑text tools. First, the automatic removal of verbal fillers delivers cleaner, publish‑ready transcripts without the need for manual editing, a boon for journalists, podcasters and enterprises that rely on rapid turnaround. Second, the ability to detect domain‑specific terminology and support a broad language set widens the service’s appeal in multilingual markets and technical fields where generic models often stumble.
Watchers will be looking for details on the rollout timeline and how the feature integrates with Google’s broader ecosystem, including Search and Workspace. Competitors such as Anthropic’s Claude Cowork, which recently added a built‑in browser for web‑based tasks, may feel pressure to match the polish of Google’s transcription output. Further language expansions, pricing structures and potential API access for developers are also likely to shape adoption. As Google continues to flesh out the Gemini 3.5 line, the company’s next moves could set new expectations for real‑time, high‑fidelity transcription in the AI landscape.
