Google and its services are very useful to its users and one of the most useful features of Google Docs is voice typing. Specifically, it uses Google’s voice recognition and speech recognition algorithms, as well as a gadget equipped with a microphone.
Well, there are a number of reasons why you might want to use your voice to type in Google Docs and elsewhere. For instance, if you’re too busy to sit and type, you may be able to multitask for most of it. Or maybe there are other reasons why you can’t use your hands to type.

Voice typing in Google Docs differs greatly depending on where you are. In fact, on the app side, it’s not even really supported on mobile – instead, it relies on keyboard-specific features to work.
