A new arXiv paper proposes using AI to help users record spoken online reviews while on the move, aiming to lower the effort of writing detailed feedback.

The work focuses on turning voice input into value for both reviewers and platforms.
Google DeepMind has introduced Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, a new speech-to-text model it describes as offering more intelligent transcription. The release targets improved accuracy and understanding in converting audio into written text. Further details on availability and pricing were not included in the announcement.
