Unlocking Multimodal Video Transcription with Gemini

Multimodal large language models like Gemini can be used to perform comprehensive video transcription, including identifying who is speaking and when. This approach moves beyond simple speech-to-text by integrating visual and audio information within a single context. Traditional methods require complex pipelines combining separate models for speech recognition, speaker diarization, and optical character recognition. By leveraging Gemini's multimodal capabilities, it is possible to solve this challenge with a single prompt and API request, simplifying the entire workflow.
