Google: Gemini 3.5 Transcribe
google/gemini-3.5-transcribe
Our take
AI-assisted analysis based on the sources below. Suitability is an editorial assessment; test it on your own workload.
According to its OpenRouter catalog listing, google/gemini-3.5-transcribe is a speech-to-text model from Google that accepts audio input and produces transcriptions. The catalog describes it as suited to synchronous transcription needing word-level timestamps or speaker diarization, with support for up to eight speakers, and lists a context length of 98,304 tokens. No independent model card was available in this source pack, so capabilities are catalog-reported and measured performance is unverified; validate accuracy and latency on your own workloads.[1]
Strengths
- OpenRouter's catalog reports support for word-level timestamps and speaker diarization covering up to eight speakers.[1]
- The catalog lists a context length of 98,304 tokens, which could accommodate long audio inputs if it applies as stated.[1]
- The listing presents it as purpose-built for synchronous audio-to-transcription workloads rather than general-purpose generation.[1]
Limitations
- Evidence comes solely from the OpenRouter catalog; no independent model card was available in this source pack, so all capabilities remain catalog-reported.[1]
- No benchmark results appear in the listing, so transcription accuracy, diarization quality and latency are unmeasured here and require workload validation.[1]
- The catalog documents no supported request parameters, so configurability and tuning options are unknown.[1]
Where to use it
- Potentially suitable for synchronous transcription of multi-speaker audio such as meetings or calls, provided diarization holds up on your recordings.[1]
- May fit captioning or subtitling pipelines that need word-level timestamps, pending testing on representative content.[1]
- Could be evaluated for long-form audio transcription given the catalog's large stated context length.[1]

Tasks and capabilities
A grade appears only where the source supplies a matching measurement for that task, the model is active and the cohort holds at least 10 comparable models. The capability column lists facts the source declares — supported formats, reasoning and tool parameters — which are not measured quality.

How grades work
Each letter grade compares a model only against other models scored by the same source and metric in the current snapshot. S means the top 10%, A the next 20%, B the next 30%, C the rest. Models without a published measurement are shown as not rated — a supported format alone never implies measured quality.
- S — S — top 10% of the cohort
- A — A — next 20% of the cohort
- B — B — next 30% of the cohort
- C — C — below the B band
