Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR NotebookLM users are hearing a mysterious third male voice during longer Audio Overviews. Google has confirmed that additional voices and dialects are coming, alongside APIs and video overviews, but it’s unclear if this third voice is a feature or a bug.

You’re probably using this model if you use apps like MacWhisper to transcribe meetings or lectures, or to generate subtitles for YouTube videos.
