Google is now rolling out audio files support in Gemini where even free users can get an audio file uploaded for various purposes, such as transcription. Alongside, Google also expanded support for five new languages in its Search’s AI Mode.
According to an X post by Josh Woodward, vice president of Google Labs and Gemini, audio files support in Gemini was the number one requested feature by users. A support page says that the “total audio length can be up to 10 minutes” for free users, while Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers get a limit of up to 3 hours. Users can select from file formats like MP3, M4A, WAV, etc., when uploading an audio file in Gemini for analysis.
Further, Google noted that all Gemini prompts accommodate up to 10 files across various file formats, including within ZIP files.
