This is the transcript of the "Google Chromebook - Dictation" video.
Speaker 1:
Welcome to our guide on How to Enable and Use Voice Typing on your Google Chromebook.
The settings might look slightly different depending on the version of Chrome OS your device is running. To start, click on the time display at the bottom right of your screen or simply press the Alt, Shift and S keys together, then navigate to Accessibility and enable Dictation. A microphone icon will appear to the right of the taskbar. If you cannot see Accessibility on the Quick Settings menu, click on the Settings cog and navigate to Accessibility on the left side of your screen, then toggle Show accessibility options in Quick Settings on.
Voice typing requires a text field, so let's open Google Docs for this example. To activate voice typing, tap or click where you want to type and select the microphone icon on the taskbar, or simply press Search and D or Launcher and D keys together. A sound bar will indicate that it is ready to capture your speech. Clicking on the microphone on the taskbar will turn it white, indicating that it is no longer listening. You can also deactivate the microphone with the same keyboard shortcut.
Another way to access voice typing is through the on-screen touch keyboard. To start, click on the time display at the bottom right of your screen, or simply press Alt, Shift and S keys, navigate to Accessibility and then enable On-screen keyboard. A keyboard icon will appear to the right of the taskbar. If the icon isn't immediately visible, check the hidden icons by clicking the up arrow. Selecting the keyboard icon brings up the touch keyboard. Hit the microphone icon on the left to start voice typing. To close the keyboard, click the little keyboard icon on the left of your on-screen touch keyboard and again at the bottom right of your on-screen touch keyboard.
