Google Sheets itself does not have a built-in feature specifically for voice typing, like you might find in Google Docs where you can directly input text using your voice. However, you can use voice typing in Google Sheets with the help of Google Docs or your device's accessibility features.
Follow the steps below to enable voice typing in Google Sheets using Google Docs.
Start a new document in Google Docs. This is where your voice will be converted to text. Go to "Tools" and select "Voice typing." A microphone will appear, ready for your commands.
Click on the microphone icon.
Speak clearly. Your words will appear in the document.
Once you've finished dictating, highlight the text you want to transfer to Google Sheets. Right-click the highlighted text and choose "Copy," or use Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac).
Return to your Google Sheets tab. Select the cell where you want your text to begin. Right-click the selected cell and choose "Paste," or press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) to paste your text.
Finally, adjust any formatting in Google Sheets to ensure your data is presented clearly.
