Here's a quick guide on how to use Google Docs Voice Typing Tool:

Step 1: Turn on Your Microphone

Before you start talking to your computer, make sure your microphone is on and working. Mic setups can be different, so check your computer manual for details. Usually, you'll find microphone settings in System Preferences on a Mac or the Control Panel on a PC.

Step 2: Use Voice Typing

1. Ensure your microphone is working.

2. Open a document in Google Docs using a Chrome browser.

3. Click on "Tools" and select "Voice typing." A little microphone box will pop up.

4. Click the microphone when you're ready to start speaking.

5. Speak clearly at a normal volume and pace (check below for tips on using punctuation).

6. When you're done, click the microphone again.

Correcting Mistakes While Voice Typing

If you make a mistake, no worries. Move your cursor to the mistake and fix it without turning off the microphone. Once corrected, put the cursor back where you want to continue. Right-click on words underlined in gray for suggestions.

Step 3: Use Voice Commands

Once you have started voice typing, you can use commands to edit and format your document. For example, you can say "Select paragraph," "italics," or "Go to the end of the line."

Tips:

• Voice commands work in English only. Your account language and document language must both be English.
• Voice commands are not available in Slides speaker notes.

Now you're all set to let your words flow without the hassle of typing. Give it a try, and see how easy and fun voice typing can be!
