Voice to text - Dictate to your computer

Type as fast as you can think.

I just found a great feature on Google Docs. You can dictate to Google Docs and it will type what you say.

Go to Google Docs; click on tools and select "voice typing." Click the microphone button that pops up and start talking.

You are limited as to the commands you can give it. These are the available commands:

• Period
  
• Comma
  
• Question Mark
  
• New Line
  
• New Paragrais
  

This does not have all the capability of Dragon Naturally Speaking, but it is free, simple to use and requires no installation.

I described it as a minimalist Voice to Text writer. It will take dictation for you almost as fast if you can think. I haven't been able to talk fast enough to swamp this app. It will type as fast as you can talk and that's a heck of a lot faster then I can type. Even if you are a fast typer Google detection will double your typing speed.

I wrote this using Google dictation and man do I like it. The only limitation I can see is it only works in Google Docs. I don't mind going back through my document and formatting it. I usually do that even if I'm typing because I want to get my thoughts on paper without having to worry about formatting.

It doesn't translate your voice perfectly so proof read carefully.
