Recently at a Google Summit I saw someone demonstrate how easy it is to use speech to text on a phone to help type a document. I thought this was an excellent solution for those looking for an inexpensive (assuming a smartphone or tablet is available) and effective speech to text tool.

Here’s how it works: Begin by creating a new Google Document. If you have not used Google Docs before, just go to drive.google.com and log in with your Google account (or create one if you do not have one). Click create – Document and you will see a blank document in front of you. Be sure to title the document so you can easily find it later.

Next, using your smartphone, either visit Google Drive through a web browser or the mobile app and sign in. Find your document and open it.  Simply click the microphone button available on most mobile keyboards and begin speaking. Once finished your text will appear in the document.  I have to admit that it is pretty cool to watch.  When demonstrating this to others I first open a Google Doc on my computer, then open the same doc on my phone.  After speaking a sentence it just magically shows up in the document on my screen.

The images below show…

1.) The Google Document open from my iPhone (see microphone button next to spacebar)

2.) The screen that appears after clicking the microphone button on my keyboard

3.) The inserted text after I clicked “Done”
