The model supports 85+ languages, custom vocabulary, and is integrated with AI SDK V7's new streamTranscribe function for streaming audio. AI Gateway provides unified API access with no markup on provider pricing and no platform fee on inference, including BYOK requests.", "body_md": "[Gemini 3.5 Transcribe](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/gemini-3.5-transcribe-live) from Google is now available on AI Gateway. It takes audio and returns text, in two variants:\n\n`google/gemini-3.5-transcribe`\n\ntranscribes a complete recording in a single request.\n\n`google/gemini-3.5-transcribe-live`\n\ntranscribes audio over a WebSocket, returning a transcript that updates while the recording is still going.\n\nThe model detects the language on its own, covers 85+, and follows a speaker who switches language partway through. You can also supply custom vocabulary so it recognizes names, jargon, and spellings.\n\nStreaming transcription is new in AI SDK V7:\n\n`streamTranscribe`\n\nopens the socket and takes a `ReadableStream`\n\nof raw audio chunks, so you can pass a microphone straight through. Tell it the format you are sending with `inputAudioFormat`\n\n:\n\nFor audio you already have on disk, `transcribe`\n\nsends it in one request and returns the text:\n\nYou can also try the model without writing any code. Open [Gemini 3.5 Transcribe Live](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/gemini-3.5-transcribe-live) and send audio to read the transcript in the browser.\n\nAI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime.
