  Note: Gemini is a Google service, not a YouChords service. YouChords uses a free Gemini model by default from the available model list when possible.
  Paid Gemini models require manual confirmation with a checkbox before use. This safeguard was added to help protect users from accidental paid API usage.
  Please review Google’s Gemini API pricing, limits, and billing settings before using Gemini transcription.
