Google Docs will now let you generate an audio version of your documents using AI. In a post announcing the rollout<\/a>, Google says you can customize Gemini\u2019s AI audio output with different voices and playback speeds.<\/p>\n

This feature isn\u2019t just for a document\u2019s creator, as Google says readers can access a shared document\u2019s AI-generated audio by selecting the Tool<\/strong> dropdown menu and selecting Audio<\/strong> > Listen to this tab<\/strong>. Authors can also add a customizable audio button directly in a document by choosing Insert > Audio<\/strong>, which readers can click to start listening.<\/p>\n

Google announced plans to let you turn your documents into AI podcasts<\/a> in April, but this feature seems a lot handier if you just want to listen to what you\u2019ve written. You can only generate audio versions of documents in English and on desktop devices for now.<\/p>\n

Google is rolling out audio in Docs to Workspace users with business, enterprise, or education plans, as well as users who have AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
