When people are writing a long document, they often self-edit as they go, rather than dumping all their thoughts on the page and editing later. This works just fine for a short project, but if you’re working on a novel or a term paper for college, it can be simpler to write the first draft and then begin editing after.
Google Docs has a voice typing feature that allows you to use your device’s microphone — or an external microphone — to transcribe text as you speak rather than type using your fingers. By using your voice to get your thoughts out, you’re more willing to accept mistakes made in the moment and edit them later on.
To start typing with your voice, you can either use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + S or select the Tools section in the main menu and then click on Voice Typing. You can say “period,” “comma,” “exclamation point,” and so on to dictate punctuation, and say “new line” or “new paragraph” to help create a structure while you’re speaking.
If you’re willing to put in the time to learn the process, you can even use voice commands for advanced editing and formatting in Google Docs. There’s a long list of helpful editing commands, the most useful of which include highlighting, cutting, copying, and pasting text to reorganize your thoughts.
