Gemini's macOS App Now Cleans Up Your Speech As You Dictate

The feature strips filler words and mid-sentence corrections, then inserts finished text into whatever window is open.

  • Gemini's macOS app inserts transcribed text directly at the cursor in any open window.
  • The system automatically deletes filler words like 'um' and 'ah' before you see the text.
  • Google announced the feature August 25, 2026, pointing users to a video to enable it.

Why it matters: An assistant that decides which of your words count as filler is already editing your speech.
