Step 1: Open Your Document and Start Voice Typing
Before you start, make sure a microphone is connected to your computer or laptop.
Open an existing file from the Docs section, or create a new one. Add your document title, then click the microphone icon in the top-right corner.
This opens the Voice typing panel. By default, the language is set to English (US).
Step 2: Choose Your Language
In the Voice typing panel, use the Language dropdown to confirm your preferred language. If you want to dictate in another language, select it from the dropdown list before you begin.
Step 3: Start Dictating
Click Start listening, then begin speaking or reading your text aloud. As you speak, your words will appear in the document in real time.
Step 4: Stop Voice Typing
When you are finished, click Start listening again to stop the recording.
Step 5: Edit the Text
After voice typing has stopped, you can edit and format the text just as you normally would.
Final Result
Your dictated text is now added to the document and can be reviewed, edited, or formatted as needed.
Additional ways to use Voice typing
Voice typing can be used in different ways depending on your workflow. Some users may find it helpful for drafting ideas, adding longer text sections, capturing quick notes, or getting a first version of their content onto the page faster.
