Google Doc's Voice Typing Tool

Type with your voice

You can now use Google Voice typing!

For an easy way to put words on a page, you can type with your voice in a document. At the moment, this feature is only available in Chrome browsers.

1. Before you get started, make sure that you have a working microphone either built in to your device or connected externally.
2. In a Chrome browser, open a document.
3. Click the Tools menu > Voice typing.
4. A pop-up microphone box will appear. When you are ready to speak your text, click the microphone or press Ctrl + Shift + S (Cmd + Shift + S on a Mac) on your keyboard.
5. Speak your text clearly, at a normal volume and pace. See below for more information on using punctuation.
6. When you're finished, click the microphone again.
