Google Docs has added a Speech Recognition Add-On.

Now, you can get the capability to speak directly into your computer and create a Google Document. You will need to set the language and dialect to get good recognition. With luck, your language and style of speaking is recognized.

This is a good way to add your own voice to your blog posts. I find that i speak differently than I write and transcribing your speech causes your posts to be more personable.

I hope this quick tutorial shows you how you too can get the capability to transcribe your spoken words into a document that you are proud to publish.

I have found that I can transcribe what I want to say much more quickly than I can type. I hope you find this to be a useful tool.

I recommend that you carefully proofread anything that you transcribe. Copy the text directly into Grammarly and it will help you to punctuate and correct any errors that crop up in the transcription.

Great article Craig! We can also save a ton of stuff to Google Documents and have it Public so that it gets indexed. Backlinks!!

Thanks for sharing within WA. I have recently used this feature to take book notes. I love the fact that i can read the book out loud and Google types it into a document for me.
