  • We'll show you how to use Google Docs to transcribe your voice. All you need to do is enable the feature, and then you'll be able to simply talk, and Google Docs will convert it to text.
    While the speech recognition isn't perfect, it is possible to correct errors. You can right-click underlined words to select a suggested change, and you can even use voice commands to make changes. In the video, we'll go over some basic voice commands you can use.

    Any idea why the voice typing keeps pausing after ±5 minutes? Is it meant to perform like that? I need to transcribe 1½ hour lecture, but it keeps pausing every few minutes.

  • @marymclean2297

  • @kaltenbaugh
    @kaltenbaugh Před 3 lety +13

    Thanks for making the video. One major flaw with Google speech-to-text is after you say "period" or "full stop" it doesn't automatically capitalize the first word of the next sentence. This is very frustrating. I tried using the "Capitalize" command. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. Any thoughts?

    • @4rfv4rfv
      @4rfv4rfv Před rokem

      There is a command in Word. It’s the icon that has a small and big A on it. Hit the icon then hit sentences format. I’m not sure if google docs has the same function. You can even do all caps or all lower letter

  • @marksin515
    @marksin515 Před 2 lety +4

    Early on you said you could use this to "transcribe meetings or audio recordings." You never touched on those topics again, so I don't know what you had in mind there. Would you please expand on this? The only idea I've seen to have Google Docs transcribe a recording is to have your microphone pick up the text from the air, like your ears would, while you play the recording nearby. And for a meeting, wouldn't you need multiple mics or one very sensitive mic? Thanks for the brief intro.

  • @lesleybw1
    @lesleybw1 Před rokem

    Hi, I am trying to do this but mine won't capitalize the first word of a sentence for some reason. Yours does. I have the box selected properly and so it does if I type it, but not with dictation. Do you know why this would happen?

  • @eduardo_corrochio
    @eduardo_corrochio Před rokem

    It seems such a great and convenient thing to use but I need a free dictation program that actually allows me to dictate *quotation marks* since my whole reason for trying this is to write fiction without typing. I cannot find a way around this. No matter what I say it gets typed out as words (open quote, start quote, quotes, quotation mark, etc).
    Speechtexter at least lets you create verbal commands yourself and add them to their existing dictionary of punctuation and such; I may have to go with them instead of Google. Anyone know if there's some trick I have not heard to engage quotes on Google Docs' Voice Typing? Thanks.

      We're so pleased to know that our video was helpful! In fact, Google Docs Voice Typing is an excellent tool for people with low vision or blindness. For now, we don't have a course focused on this kind of use. However, we found this page regarding accessibility and Google products: www.google.com/accessibility/products-features/
      We hope this helps you to know other ways to use Google tools for your benefit.

    No matter what I do, the mic keeps turning off after just few words, and I have to resume its listening. Google Translator handles listening better - but there suddenly it stopped switching punctuation words for actual punctuation, and my work is terribly slower. No idea what to do, and I need this badly.
