The Gemini Android application beta has introduced a feature allowing users to attach audio files, such as MP3s, to chat conversations. This feature, noted in version 16.30.59.sa.arm64 of the Google app beta, includes a “Talk live about this” prompt when a file is attached. However, the audio processing capabilities are still in early development, with inconsistent processing of audio input and occasional irrelevance in responses. The Gemini API supports audio input for tasks like generating descriptions, summarizing spoken information, and transcribing speech, with support for MP3, WAV, and FLAC formats. The integration of audio file attachment is part of a broader development initiative by Google, although no official launch date has been announced.
