You can ask a Gemini model to analyze audio files that you provide
either inline (base64-encoded) or via URL. When you use Firebase AI Logic,
you can make this request directly from your mobile or web app (such as your
Apple (Swift), Android (Kotlin / Java), Web (JavaScript), Flutter (Dart), or
Unity app).

With this capability, you can do things like:

- Describe, summarize, or answer questions about audio content
- Transcribe audio content
- Analyze specific segments of audio using timestamps

This guide is about generating *text* from audio input.

If you haven't already, complete the
[getting started guide](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/get-started.md.txt), which describes how to
set up your Firebase project, connect your app to Firebase, add the SDK,
initialize the backend service for your chosen Gemini API provider, and
create a `GenerativeModel` instance.


> [!NOTE]
> All our docs assume that you're using the [latest versions](https://firebase.google.com/support/releases.md.txt) of the Firebase AI Logic SDKs.

For testing and iterating on your prompts, we recommend using [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com).

#### Models that support this capability

This guide is about generating text from audio input, and it's applicable to the
following Gemini models:

- `gemini-4-carbon`
- `gemini-4-argon`
- `gemini-3.8-flash`
- `gemini-3.5-flash-lite` (and the older `gemini-3.1-flash-lite`)

Older general-use Gemini 3.x Flash models support this capability, but
they're no longer recommended for use due to upcoming shutdown dates and/or
automatic routing to newer models.

## Generate text from audio files (base64-encoded)


|---|
| *Before trying this sample, complete the [Before you begin](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/analyze-audio.md.txt#before-you-begin) section of this guide to set up your project and app. **In that section, you'll also click a button for your chosen Gemini API provider so that you see provider-specific content on this page**.* |

<br />

You can ask a Gemini model to
generate text by prompting with text and audio---providing the
input file's `mimeType` and the file itself. Find
[requirements and recommendations for input files](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/analyze-audio.md.txt#requirements-recommendations-for-input)
later on this page.


> [!NOTE]
> **Important** : **The total request size limit is
> 20 MB.** To send large files, review the [options for providing files in multimodal requests](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/input-file-requirements.md.txt).

## Stream the response


|---|
| *Before trying this sample, complete the [Before you begin](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/analyze-audio.md.txt#before-you-begin) section of this guide to set up your project and app. **In that section, you'll also click a button for your chosen Gemini API provider so that you see provider-specific content on this page**.* |

<br />

You can achieve faster interactions by not waiting for the entire result from
the model generation, and instead use streaming to handle partial results.
To stream the response, call `generateContentStream`.

let model = ai.generativeModel(modelName: "gemini-3.8-flash")


// Provide the audio as \`Data\`
guard let audioData = try? Data(contentsOf: audioURL) else {

## Requirements and recommendations for input audio files


> [!NOTE]
> **Important** : **The total request size limit is
> 20 MB.** To send large files, review the [options for providing files in multimodal requests](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/input-file-requirements.md.txt).

<br />

Note that a file provided as inline data is encoded to base64 in transit, which
increases the size of the request. You get an HTTP 413 error if a request is
too large.

See "Supported input files and requirements" page to learn detailed information
about the following:

- [Different options for providing a file in a request](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/input-file-requirements.md.txt#options-for-input-files) (either inline or using the file's URL or URI)
- [Requirements and best practices for audio files](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/input-file-requirements.md.txt#audio)

#### Supported audio MIME types


Gemini multimodal models support the following audio MIME types:

- AAC - `audio/aac`
- FLAC - `audio/flac`
- MP3 - `audio/mp3`
- MPA - `audio/m4a`
- MPEG - `audio/mpeg`
- MPGA - `audio/mpga`
- MP4 - `audio/mp4`
- OPUS - `audio/opus`
- PCM - `audio/pcm`
- WAV - `audio/wav`
- WEBM - `audio/webm`

<br />

#### Limits per request


Maximum files per request: 1 audio file

<br />

<br />

## What else can you do?

- Learn how to [count tokens](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/count-tokens.md.txt) before sending long prompts to the model.
- [Set up Cloud Storage for Firebase](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/solutions/cloud-storage.md.txt) so that you can include large files in your multimodal requests and have a more managed solution for providing files in prompts. Files can include images, PDFs, video, and audio.
- Start thinking about preparing for production (see the [production checklist](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/production-checklist.md.txt)):
  - [Enforce Firebase App Check](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/app-check.md.txt) *as early as possible* to help protect the Gemini API from abuse by unauthorized clients.
  - Use [Firebase Remote Config](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/change-model-name-remotely.md.txt) or [server prompt templates](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/server-prompt-templates/get-started.md.txt) so that you can make on-demand changes to configurations for your AI feature (like model name) without releasing a new version of your app.


#### Try out other capabilities

<br />

- Build [multi-turn conversations (chat)](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/chat.md.txt).
- Generate text from [text-only prompts](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/generate-text.md.txt).
- [Generate structured output (like JSON)](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/generate-structured-output.md.txt) from both text and multimodal prompts.
- [Generate and edit images](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/generate-images-gemini.md.txt) from both text and multimodal prompts.
- [Generate speech (both single- and
  multiple-speakers)](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/generate-speech) using Gemini text-to-speech (TTS) models.
- [Stream input and output](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/live-api.md.txt) (including audio) using the Gemini Live API.
- Use tools (like [function calling](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/function-calling.md.txt) and Grounding with [Google Search](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/grounding-google-search.md.txt) or [Google Maps](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/grounding-google-maps.md.txt)) to connect a Gemini model to other parts of your app and external systems and information.


#### Learn how to control content generation

- [Understand prompt design](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/prompt-design.md.txt), including best practices, strategies, and example prompts.
- [Configure model parameters](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/model-parameters.md.txt) like max output tokens, the probability of repeated output tokens, etc.
- [Use safety settings](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/safety-settings.md.txt) to adjust the likelihood of getting responses that may be considered harmful.

You can also experiment with prompts and model configurations and even get a generated code snippet using [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com).
