Docs’s dictation feature is good for more than just regular writing and editing: Anytime you have some audio that needs to be turned into text–from a recorded interview, a podcast, or whatever the case may be–find a quiet room for your computer, fire up Docs’s voice typing mode, and let the audio play.

You can find a full list of available commands here.ĩ. The system supports a huge range of functions–selecting specific words, phrases, or paragraphs applying different types of formatting to text cutting, copying, and pasting and even scrolling through a document or jumping to specific parts of the page. In addition to taking down text, Docs’s voice typing mode allows you to perform advanced edits via spoken command. You can say things like “period,” “comma,” and “question mark” or give instructions like “new line” or “new paragraph.” If you want to take a break, say “stop listening” and then say “resume” when you’re ready to continue.Ĩ. Docs’s voice-to-text function also lets you speak commands for common forms of punctuation and paragraph formatting. Docs will use Google’s standard voice-to-text system to figure out what you’re saying (mostly, anyway) and put it on the page.ħ. Give your fingers a break and let Docs turn your spoken words into text: As long as your computer has a microphone, all you have to do is open the Tools menu and select “Voice typing”–or hit Ctrl-Shift-S (or Cmd-Shift-S)–and then speak away. (This one is also available in the Docs mobile apps just look for the “Document outline” option in the apps’ main menu.)Ħ. You can then click on any of those sections to jump directly to that part of the document. Docs can automatically organize your documents to make them easier to get around: Open up the View menu and select “Show document outline”–or just hit Ctrl-Alt-H (or Cmd-Alt-H)–and the app will create a complete outline in the left area of the screen, with every line of header text representing a section.
Rather than digging around in the Format menu, you can simply highlight the text in question, hit Alt and then /, type “ti”–and then, when “Title Case” appears as the top option, hit Enter to apply it.ĥ.
Say you want to convert some text into title case, for instance. You can get to any Google Docs function in no time by using the program’s menu search command.Ĥ. Save yourself the trouble of digging through Docs’s menus to find what you need and instead use the Alt-/ shortcut to search all available functions in no time.
