Google Launches Gemini 3.5 Transcribe – Powers Rambler in Gboard
Google has announced Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, a new model for speech-to-text. The technology currently powers the Rambler dictation function in Gboard and is slated for integration into Chrome.
What happened?
Google has unveiled Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, a new AI model for speech-to-text. The model is designed to convert audio directly into formatted text, handling background noise and technical terminology while filtering out filler words such as 'uh' and 'um'. The model is already in use within Google's Rambler dictation feature for Gboard, with plans to integrate it into the Chrome browser.

”designed to capture your natural speaking style to better understand your intent and recognize custom vocabulary”
Why it matters
Unlike traditional speech recognition models, Gemini 3.5 Transcribe can understand the speaker's intent and handle self-corrections in real-time, such as when a speaker changes a date mid-sentence. This makes voice control and dictation more useful in everyday applications without the need for manual post-editing.
Who is affected?
The model primarily affects users of Google products, such as Gboard and Chrome, who will gain access to more precise voice input. It also impacts developers and companies building voice-based applications within the Google ecosystem.
Impact on the EU
The launch is occurring globally across Google's ecosystem. Services integrated into Gboard and Chrome are generally rolled out to users in the EU as well, although the availability of specific languages beyond English depends on Google's language support at the time of rollout.
What else you should know
Gemini 3.5 Transcribe builds upon Google's Gemini model family, marking a shift from traditional Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to LLM-based audio processing. This enables the combination of transcription and text editing in a single step.
