Gemini voice conversation features in 2025

Gemini supports live, two-way voice interactions that allow users to speak naturally, interrupt responses, and integrate spoken prompts with connected Google services.

Gemini’s voice mode is available in its mobile apps and Workspace-integrated web experience. It combines real-time transcription, neural voice synthesis, and direct access to connected tools. The system is designed for both short, casual exchanges and extended spoken sessions, with controls for tone, speed, and privacy.

Gemini allows real-time voice dialogue with multiple languages.

The live conversation mode accepts spoken input in more than forty languages, including English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. It can detect the active language automatically and switch the reply voice to match. The voice system uses four neural-generated voices, with sliders for pitch and speed so users can adjust the delivery to their preference.

This voice mode is accessible in the Gemini mobile app for Android and iOS and through the Workspace sidebar on web. The same core features are present across platforms, including the ability to interrupt replies mid-sentence.

Conversations can be interrupted and redirected instantly.

Gemini supports “barge-in” — the ability to cut off the assistant while it is speaking and issue a new prompt. This feature allows more dynamic conversations, where a user can correct a request, change the subject, or refine the output without waiting for a full reply to finish. When interrupted, Gemini processes the new prompt and continues from the updated context.

The system is optimised for low latency, with first response tokens delivered in roughly one second on the default model. The Pro model delivers similar behaviour despite longer raw benchmark times, as live streaming bypasses batch-response delays.

Voice mode integrates directly with Google services.

During an active voice session, users can access Google Calendar, Keep, Tasks, and YouTube Music without leaving the conversation. This makes it possible to schedule events, add notes, set reminders, or play media entirely by voice. Workspace accounts receive the same functionality, with administrators able to enable or disable voice features through the central admin panel.

Integration extends to certain devices: recent firmware for Galaxy Buds 3 routes Gemini’s replies through the earbuds when paired with supported Samsung devices, although the processing remains on the phone.

Quotas and plan-specific allowances apply.

Voice usage is limited by daily quotas, which reset at midnight local time:

Plan	Daily voice requests	Notes
Free	25	Full feature set, lower limit
Gemini Advanced	120	May throttle after 90 long sessions

Extended voice sessions count toward the total more heavily. A session lasting over five minutes consumes multiple request slots, so managing session length can help avoid hitting the cap.

Privacy controls and temporary sessions are available.

Gemini includes a “Temporary Chat” mode that prevents transcripts from being stored after the session ends. This setting can be toggled on before starting a conversation and is designed for sensitive queries or off-record exchanges. Workspace administrators can also disable all voice uploads for their organisation.

Voice features work best with a stable connection and clear speech.

Users can improve accuracy and speed by speaking clearly and minimising background noise. Switching to a closer microphone or using supported earbuds can also improve transcription quality. For multilingual use, allowing the system to auto-detect rather than pre-setting the language can smooth topic changes across languages.

Gemini’s voice conversation mode combines quick response times, natural delivery, and integration with the Google ecosystem. Used effectively, it turns spoken prompts into an efficient way to search, plan, and manage tasks without relying on the keyboard.
