Speech Recognition in Google Docs

Speech recognition has come a long way in recent years. One new Add-On that is available in Google Docs is Speech Recognition but Elisardofelix. To add the Add-On, open a document in your Google Drive and click Add-Ons>Get Add-Ons. Then search for Speech Recognition.

This Add-On uses is very good at picking up the spoken voice and making sense of what is said. One of its shortcomings is that, unlike more powerful speech recognition tools, it does not allow - at least at this time - for punctuation and other commands. Still for a quick and free tool it is worth a try.
