Still more expensive and worse performing than ElevenLabs Scribe, unfortunately. Not sure who's the target audience for this.

Just added this to my benchmark site: https://multilingualsttbench.com/

It doesn't reach the frontier in either latency or accuracy for ai multilingual conversations.

I am not sure if "Word Error Rate" captures what has always been wrong with transcription. My biggest complaint is that it inserts sentence breaks in random places, then fails to evaluate the result, even though it is obviously wrong. Then I have to go fix it which can be harder than having just typed it myself, due to the difficulty of positioning the Android cursor, the fact that it automatically capitalizes if you delete a capital letter, etc. And much of the time I fail to notice the errors until later.

Hopefully YouTube automatic captions improve with this

Annoying that they don't include pricing info in new models, here it is [1]:

Gemini 3.5 Transcribe Live (Per 1M tokens in USD):

    Input: $3.50 or $0.005/min* (audio)
    Output: 21.00 or $0.004/min* (text)

Gemini 3.5 Transcribe:

    Input: $2.00 or $0.003/min* (audio)
    Output: $12.00 or $0.002/min* (text)

Very impressive, including the ability to hit fn in any text field and say "generate an image ...".

I'd love to know how this handles proper subtitle formatting. I'm in the process of learning many languages, and being able to cross check my own understanding with film and video would be fantastic.

Where does the compute happen?

I suppose it's a cloud thing?

Does somebody knows what top locales list is sampled from? their own usage data? Also when they will use their AI to give better directions in Waze?
