I want to use Gemini 2.5 Pro text to speech for my monetized Youtube videos. The current Preview model in Google AI Studio is only for personal use and not for commercial use. I am willing to pay for it.
I am new to Google AI / Gemini.
Can you explain to me, like I am 5, how can I access the Gemini 2.5 Pro text to speech after it disappeared from the Google AI Studio?
I signed up for Google Cloud AI Vertex, and can see the TTS service using Chirp, which is not the Gemini 2.5 Pro TTS.
Will the same user interface, where you can enter style prompts and download the audio be available in Google Cloud?
There are so many information online, but I didn't find the answer. I hope there is a service for commercial use similar to the Google AI Studio interface.
I switch back and forth between Android and iOS. Whenever I'm on Android I use Gboard for Google's speech to text. Last year I permanently switched to Android because iOS speech to text was so poor it was leaving out entire sentences and adding words that I didn't say.
However the last couple of weeks on my Android phone speech to text is doing the exact same thing.
It also often doubles The entire voice session. It also randomly capitalizes words.
It's also adding words I didn't say and leaving off up to entire sentences.
In the past as I was speaking and looking at what was displayed on the screen it would not change something after the word appeared. It might change a half second after the word appears but now it's doing the same thing that iOS does, So even if I read the speech to text and it looks good it sometimes changes it when I'm a sentence or two further down the dictation.
Gemini keeps trying to take over The Google Assistant function on my phone and I keep having to change that back.
I've tried not having speech to text dictionary installed locally so it always uses the server and it seems to be worse on the server.
It is suggesting words I've never typed or spoken to it. It oftentimes does another thing iOS does which is to pluralize something that wasn't plural or make something current tense that I said past tense or vice versa.
With iOS if I over enunciate it usually does better but trying to do that with Gboard It will add additional words for every syllable I speak so I have to go back to speaking kind of quickly.
I had two hand surgeries last year so I couldn't type for several months. I've become really dependent upon speech to text during my recovery and I hate having to dictate an entire message and then reread it twice to make sure everything is accurate.
Just yelling into the void but wondering if anyone has been experiencing the same issue and if there is a way to switch it back to whatever model it used previously.
