Gemini voice replies feel too slow and do not keep speed settings
Gemini’s spoken replies can feel very slow, which makes voice conversations drag. The answers may also be long, so the slow speech makes the wait feel even longer.
Changing the speaking speed works only for the conversation. When a new conversation starts, the faster speed is not kept, so the same adjustment has to be made again.
Key points
- Gemini’s voice replies may play back too slowly.
- Long answers make the slow speech feel worse.
- The faster speaking speed does not carry over to the next conversation.
- Users may need to ask Gemini to speed up again each time.
