Google has launched Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, a new voice-to-text AI model that automatically strips out filler words and stumbles to produce cleaner transcriptions. Already running Gboard's Rambler feature on the Pixel 11, the model is set to expand across Google's products. Google says it is roughly 70 percent faster than its predecessor, Chirp 3, and slightly more accurate, with a live-speech error rate of 5.5 percent versus 7.32 percent.
