Use Your Voice to Type, Edit, and Format Inside Google Docs

Users of Google Docs can now utilize their voice to not only dictate what they want written, but can comprehensively edit and format documents. Any editing or formatting feature available in docs can be commanded with your voice, such as heading settings, alignment settings, bullet lists, numbered lists, and more.

For example, if making a grocery list or recipe, you can say “make a bullet list, add 1/2 cup of olives,” followed by “new line” and “new paragraph,” as well as pick up anywhere on the page simply by stating which word you want to continue from.

The video accompanied with the announcement does a fantastic job at detailing what all you can do with the feature.

Check out video, then try it for yourself.

Tim

Stumbling upon Droid Life randomly after purchasing a Motorola DROID in late 2009, then setting out to learn everything he could about Android, Tim quickly became an integral part of the site's comment section. After quite some time of strictly commenting on Droid Life, Tim was offered an opportunity to write feature stories for the site, such as custom ROM overviews, as well as interviews with Android community members. Following success of those, Tim became a full time writer and editor for Droid Life, now spending his time on news articles, device reviews, producing videos, and much more. Tim currently resides in Portland, OR with his longtime girlfriend and two wonderful dog children (Loki & Thor). In his spare time, Tim enjoys playing guitar, drinking coffee, practicing photography, and destroying kids on Call of Duty.
