Using Your Voice To Type

I thought I would use this blog to follow up something we spoke about at our last staff meeting.  Here is the link to the support document from Google for the talk to type feature.  Read through all the pull downs so that you have an idea of what they add on can do.  I would encourage you to explore the answers below by exploring some of the features.

Steps to start
1.  Open a new google doc
2.  Click tools and voice typing
3.  Read a paragraph from a book you are reading so that it is "typed" on your document.


Questions to consider:
1.  Compare what you read to what is on the screen.  What areas didn't come across correctly?  What may be some glitchy spots in the translation for students?
2.  While you are reading use the punctuation commands.  How do those work for you?
3.  Select some of the editing tools and try them out.  They are all voice activated and work pretty smoothly.
4.  What student can you share this with?  Who would knowing how to do this benefit?
