New Voice Typing Update for Google Docs Will Improve Accuracy

The voice typing tool in Google Docs will be the focus of a future upgrade, which should improve its accuracy. So, if you've been enjoying the useful voice typing feature, you might want to wait for the upcoming update. Or, if you're one of the people who dislikes it because it's inaccurate, the new version might convince you otherwise.

Update for Google Docs' voice typing

According to a report from 9to5Google, Google Docs is getting a new upgrade that enhances its Voice Typing feature. It's important to note that since 2015, the search engine giant's word processing platform has provided its users with a Voice Typing feature. They can now convert audio to text without having to spend the time and effort manually noting down each word.

Therefore, users couldn't completely rely on it for transcription jobs. But this time, according to reports, the search engine giant is getting ready to release an upgrade that improves the feature. According to Google's most recent Workspace Updates blog post, the new upgrade will "minimise lost audio" and "decrease transcription errors." The magnitude of the impending upgrades was not disclosed by the large company. Therefore, until it begins to roll out, it is unclear how much this will ultimately benefit. The tech juggernaut, however, asserts that the voice typing capability in Docs' transcription quality needs to be improved. Google Slides will also soon have enhanced transcription accuracy. The upgrade pertains to its "automatic captions" functionality because it lacks a voice typing feature.

"We hope this launch leads to more inclusive and accessible user interactions within Docs and Slides," the well-known tech company declares. Apparently, the February release date for the following upgrade. It is being made available to free users in addition to paid Workspace members. Google Docs has updated its emoji feature to make it easier to add them to documents. Apart from the improvements to Voice Typing, more online browsers will soon support the feature, which is currently only available in Chrome. According to Google, the capability will soon be "extended to most major browsers." So anticipate that browsers other than Chrome, like Apple's Safari, will support the transcribing feature.
