Google Docs To Get Voice Dictation Feature

Will let you speak out your notes instead of typing.

 

Always felt that you needed an assistant who would jot down your notes while you dictate them? Well, Google will soon turn that into a reality. The company is adding a new voice typing feature to Google Drive, which will allow you to actually dictate notes to your online documents.

You may remember Dragon’s speech recognition software, which required one to wear a headset in order to dictate long notes. According to Marques Brownlee who spilled the beans about the upcoming feature, Google has made it a lot easier.

All you will have to do, is click on the little mic icon on the top ribbon, and speak away like you are dictating something to Google Now. Google’s voice services are pretty spot on compared to the rest of the competition and the new algorithm will even allow you to add punctuation like periods and even spaces by dictating the word. Still purists will stay away from this service as it does not offer grammatical corrections like Microsoft’s ever-popular 'Word' just yet.
