12/17/2025, 7:16 PMYou're asking about using Google Gemini for transcription (not Chirp). Gemini is an LLM in LiveKit for reasoning/generation — it is not available as a speech-to-text (STT) engine.
For transcription, use a dedicated STT provider (LiveKit supports Google Cloud STT/Chirp, AssemblyAI, DeepGram, etc.). You can transcribe audio with one of those STT providers and then send the resulting text to Gemini for downstream processing or analysis if you want LLM capabilities.
Would you like help choosing an STT provider or a short example of wiring STT output into Gemini?

12/17/2025, 7:18 PMYou’re asking how to use Gemini 2.5 Pro to transcribe. Gemini 2.5 Pro is a large language model for reasoning and text generation — it does not perform speech-to-text transcription.
What you can do instead:
• Use a dedicated STT provider (for example Google Cloud STT/Chirp, AssemblyAI, DeepGram) to convert audio to text.
• Send the STT output to Gemini 2.5 Pro for analysis, summarization, entity extraction, or other LLM tasks.
If you’d like, I can:
• Recommend an STT provider based on your language, accuracy, latency, or budget needs.
• Provide a short example showing how to pipe STT output into Gemini for summarization or Q&A.
Which option would you like?
