with Google Docs using the keyboard
isn't your only option to add text you
can also just talk and have Google
transcribe the words for you you can use
this feature to transcribe meetings and
audio recordings or simply when you want
to write faster than you can type
to use this feature you must use the
Google Chrome web browser and your
computer needs to have a microphone to
get started click on Tools
then voice typing a little dialog box
appears if you need to you can click
here to change the language to start
recording simply click the microphone
icon and if a pop-up appears click allow
Google's voice typing feature works
pretty well , and it even lets you add
punctuation using voice commands period
even though mistakes are likely to occur
comma it is still a great way to create
notes very quickly
period
clicking the microphone again turns
voice typing off
in this example Google did a very good
job of transcribing my speech it helps
that there isn't a lot of background
noise that Google has to try to filter
out Google's voice recognition is good
but it knows that it isn't perfect so it
underlines words that it's not sure
about in gray this makes it easier for
you to spot any errors you can correct
mistakes by placing your mouse over the
underlined text right-clicking and
choosing the best option you can also
use voice commands to make edits to your
text let's try an example
select are likely to occur
delete
might happen
stop listening
notice how I said stop listening to turn
off voice typing
to find a full list of available voice
commands hover over the microphone and
click the question mark
well it is possible to do extensive
edits using only your voice the process
is cumbersome if you're able to work
with the mouse and keyboard you're
probably better off using those to make
your edits
voice typing might not be the best way
to edit your resume but it is a great
tool for when you are brainstorming or
need to quickly take some notes
