Google Docs is getting this new feature.
With this update, Google aims to make conversations within Docs and Slides more inclusive and accessible to all users.
Since its introduction in 2015, many users rely on the voice typing feature in Google Docs. To further improve the user experience, the feature is being updated with new improvements that will also enhance automatic captions in Google Slides.
As first spotted by 9to5Google, a Google Workspace post suggests the new “enhancement will help reduce transcription errors and audio lost during transcription.” Google says Google Docs voice typing will be further optimized and new “improvements also include expanded availability for most major browsers,”
Additionally, the support document states that Slides will now automatically generate punctuation for captions, further improving the experience for “end users”.
To use the Voice Typing feature in Google Docs, go to ‘Tools’ and select ‘Voice Typing’. This opens a microphone for dictation and allows you to edit and format the document using your voice. To turn off dictation, click the microphone again.
According to Google, the update will be rolling out to all Google Workspace customers as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business Customers in addition to users with personal Google Accounts. The ‘Rapid Release Rollout’ has started on January 9, with the ‘Scheduled Release Domain’ gradual rollout starting on February 6, 2023.
