Because Google’s help page for “Voice typing…” says it detects all the common punctuations like period, comma, exclamation, etc. So, I edited all of them manually before copying here. Note: While dictating on Google Docs, it was typing “period” or “full stop” as it is instead of inserting one. So, I picked an excerpt from my fantastic ten productivity tools and then turned on dictation in iOS (on iPhone) and Google Docs (on the web) at the same time. I’m pretty sure that a lot of you will now advocate for Siri or the in-built free dictation software on iOS or Mac OS X. But again, it doesn’t offer a voice dictation on Windows Phone or elsewhere that works (correct me if I’m wrong!).Īnd then there’s Siri. Oh yeah, it works perfectly when you see its demo on an Apple Event. However, Google didn’t have an independent dictation software - especially for desktops - until now.īut what about Microsoft’s Cortana and the overhyped Apple’s Siri? Google’s speech recognition technology - on Search, Translator, Google Now, etc - works like a charm thanks to Google’s immense knowledge of everything. In fact, if there’s a speech recognition software that has always worked for me then it’s Google.

If you are an avid Android user then you probably know that Google has added speech recognition capabilities to it long time back. However, it’s not supported in its iOS (on iPhone and iPad) apps, yet.

A couple of weeks back I noticed that Google introduced “Voice typing…” to Google Docs. I was an active Google Docs user until few months back and then almost stopped using it.

Not anymore! Meet “Voice typing…” On Google Docs Over the past several months/years, I tried several dictation or voice to text software - including the super-popular Dragon Speech Recognition Software (but I tried it several years back) - and nothing really worked for me. Once the first draft gets done, the rest happens like magic!ĭon’t Miss: The Fantastic Ten Tools (Free) To Skyrocket Your Productivity Obviously, the biggest task involved in publishing a blog post is actually the writing process itself. I’m a desktop kind of person who almost always prefer a computer over a phone - unless I’m away from my desk. I have already mentioned on several blog posts that I take a lot of time to create a blog post - from researching to writing to editing to formatting.Īnd that’s why I’m always trying to find a way to streamline my content creation process - to make it more consistent, stress-free, and efficient.
