New Delhi: Google has started rolling out the latest natural language voice capabilities for the Gemini application on macOS, enabling users to transcribe speech, rewrite text, summarize content, and generate or edit images without leaving the application they are working in. This upgrade lets users interact with Gemini from any window on their desktop. By long-pressing the Fn key, users can speak naturally into any window, and Gemini processes the request directly within that application.
By default, this feature enables intelligent dictation. Gemini converts the spoken words into clean, formatted text by automatically removing filler words such as “um” and “ah”, handling mid-sentence corrections, and inserting the polished text directly at the cursor. Users can also allow Gemini to reason in the application settings. When enabled, Gemini can understand the context of content on the screen to perform more advanced tasks.
Summarizing files and documents
Highlight local files, images, or documents and ask Gemini to extract key information or generate summaries.
Writing and rewriting text
Highlight text anywhere on the screen and use voice to rewrite, shorten, expand, or change its tone before inserting the upgraded version back into the document.
Generating and editing images
Create the latest images using voice, or edit existing images by referencing visuals already open on the desktop.
These latest natural language voice capabilities are rolling out globally to all users of the Gemini applications for macOS in English, with support for additional languages coming later.
