Office workers, especially those in human resources, have had to retype documents to send back to their bosses or colleagues. Typing documents can be time-consuming and tedious, especially if it is a document with thousands of words, even tens of pages. Buffcom.net will show you two quick typing tips – without wasting time – without installing any software!

Type Text with Just a Few Mouse Clicks Using Google Docs

With this method, it only takes you 10 seconds per page to convert all text into a Word document and a little more time to format. Your colleagues will definitely be amazed when they see you finish the task early.

Step 1: Take Photos of the Pages to Be Typed

You will take one photo for each page of the document. The clearer the photo, the higher the accuracy of the text.

Step 2: Upload Photos to Google Drive

You can use Zalo to send photos of the document from your phone to your computer without worrying about image quality loss. Then, you can upload the photos from your computer to Google Drive.

Or, if you have already installed the Google Drive app on your phone, you can directly upload photos from your phone to Google Drive.

Step 4: Edit and Format the Text

Google Docs has converted the photos to text, but the text still needs to be formatted. No problem, you already have the text and just need to edit the format.

Now, all you need to do is copy the text and paste it into Word by right-clicking -> Paste Special -> Keep Text Only. Another way is to download the file directly by selecting File -> Download -> Microsoft Word (.docx)

Then, you just need to edit the text format as desired (and correct spelling errors – if any) without having to type each word.

If you need to type text with many document images, you can open all the images in Google Docs and you’re done. Isn’t it convenient?

Type text using voice input

So what if you have to type up a document of a meeting or a presentation? How can you type up text as fast as someone speaks without missing any information? Or maybe you’re just too lazy to type up a certain document and want to read it aloud and have the computer automatically type up the text based on what you’re saying?

In Word version 365, there is a voice typing feature. But if you don’t use the 365 version, don’t worry because Google Docs will support you in doing this and it’s completely free.

Step 1: Create a New Document in Google Docs

Method 1: Go to the website docs.google.com/document/. Choose Blank (plus sign icon) to start a new document.

Method 2: Select File -> New -> Document

Step 5: Download the Typed Content from Google Docs to Your Computer

If you want a Word version of this document:

Method 1: You can Ctrl + A to select all the text and then copy it to a blank document in Word.

Method 2: Download directly by choosing File -> Download -> Microsoft Word (.docx)

Note
Sometimes due to noise, volume, etc., the Google Docs typed text may not be 100% accurate. Anyway, the machine only plays a supporting role and cannot completely replace humans, right?

You can use headphones to filter out noise and get better sound quality. In the case of inaccurate text, you can delete the wrong word and speak again.
