Google has released Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, a speech-to-text model that ships as two separate endpoints rather than one. The streaming endpoint delivers sub-second transcription but drops speaker diarization and word timestamps. The batch endpoint keeps both, at half the cost. Google reports 4.0% word error rate streaming and 2.6% non-streaming, with 70% faster finalization than Chirp 3. Here is what the split means for anyone building voice agents or transcription pipelines.
