Voice Typing in Slides

Standard

Google just added the ability to use voice typing in Slides.  There is one caveat though… it only works in the Speakers notes section. Here’s how it works.

You may get a message asking for permission to access your microphone.  Allow this.
Once you do, just click the microphone icon and begin speaking.

While you are talking, the icon looks like this:

 

And this is the end result:

 

Again, this only works in the speakers notes.  But, you could copy and paste that text into the slide itself for an easy workaround.
BONUS TIP!

 

Google Classroom just added a “Copy code” option!  Now you can quickly copy your enrollment code to give to students.
