Exciting Breakthrough: Google Unleashes Gemini Live with 10 New Voices Free for All Android Users | Must-Read Tech News
Google Expands Gemini Live to All Android Users, Introduces 10 New Voice Options
Last Updated: Oct 01, 2024 | 11:02 AM IST
Google has expanded its Gemini Live feature to all free Android users, adding 10 new voice options. Originally available for Gemini Advanced subscribers in August, this update now offers the full experience to everyone, exclusively in English.
"Live is now available for all Gemini users in English on the Android app. We can’t wait for you to try it," proclaimed the Google Gemini App account on X.
Gemini Live allows users to converse naturally with Gemini, accessible through the Gemini app or overlay’s bottom-right corner. The interface extends to full screen and includes “Hold” and “End” buttons. As detailed by 9to5Google, the app can run in the background, and sessions can be closed with the command “stop” or via notifications by swiping down.
Interactions include a text transcript of user prompts and Gemini’s responses, enabling session restarts. Currently, Gemini Live does not support accessing other services like Gmail and YouTube Music in real-time, but this functionality, along with camera access via Project Astra, is forthcoming. Plans are also in place to launch Gemini Live on iOS. Users can force-stop the app to apply new updates.
The 10 new voice options available in Gemini Settings include:
- Nova: Calm – Mid-range voice
- Ursa: Engaged – Mid-range voice
- Vega: Bright – Higher voice
- Pegasus: Engaged – Deeper voice
- Orbit: Energetic – Deeper voice
- Lyra: Bright – Higher voice
- Orion: Bright – Deeper voice
- Dipper: Engaged – Deeper voice
- Eclipse: Energetic – Mid-range voice
- Capella: British accent – Higher voice
These updates are designed to enhance user experience by providing a more natural and versatile interaction with Gemini.
