Typo Check and Voice Typing in Google Docs
Author : Bima Ridho Pratama, S.IP. Date : 03 February 2024

Library friends must be familiar with "Google Docs." Google Docs is a service that has similarities with the word processing application "Microsoft Word." They look similar, but they still have differences between them. In the process of saving files, Microsoft Word requires pre-configuration on OneDrive backup or by subscribing to Microsoft 365. Unlike Microsoft Word, Google Docs has a feature that automatically updates when new content is added. The advantage of Google Docs often utilized is the document sharing feature, allowing individuals to access files simultaneously.

Surprisingly, there are two other Google Docs features that are not well-known to many people. These features can be useful for library friends, especially those working on final projects, theses, or other daily tasks. The first feature is for transcribing audio into text, while the second feature is for checking for typos in library friends' document files.

Steps for using the audio transcription feature:

  1. First, library friends can activate this feature by opening the document file and selecting Tools > Voice typing.
  2. Library friends can choose the language according to the audio to be transcribed.
  3. Click on the microphone icon to start transcription. Transcription can be done by playing the audio directly on a PC or laptop equipped with speakers, or it can also be done by playing it on another device such as a smartphone.

Steps for using the typo check feature:

  1. First, library friends can activate this feature by opening the document file and selecting Tools > Spelling and Grammar.
  2. When the pop-up menu appears, library friends select Check Spelling and Grammar.
  3. The pop-up menu will provide suggestions regarding spelling or the correct word. It is up to library friends to decide whether the suggestions provided by this feature are suitable for the words they want or are in accordance with the official language rules.
