Google has rolled out a significant update to its Gemini app, introducing the highly-requested ability for users to upload and process audio files. This new feature allows the chatbot to transcribe and summarize the contents of audio files, making it a powerful tool for a variety of tasks.
Users can upload up to 10 audio files at once, with a combined total duration of up to 10 minutes. This new capability enables users to get quick and accurate transcriptions of everything from seminars and work meetings to personal notes and voice memos. The feature adds a new layer of functionality to the Gemini app, which already offers real-time conversational capabilities through its Gemini Live feature.
This update is a strategic move to make the Gemini app a more comprehensive productivity tool, competing with other AI and transcription services. The new feature is currently rolling out to users and may not be available to everyone yet.
