Google recently announced that Google Docs has introduced a new feature, allowing users to now have their documents read aloud using AI-generated voice. This feature aims to enhance the user's reading experience, making information access more convenient and engaging.
During the use of this feature, users can customize the AI audio output, including selecting different voices and adjusting the playback speed. This personalized setting helps users choose the most suitable auditory experience according to their preferences, making the delivery of document content more attractive.
Not only can the creators of documents use this feature, but other readers can also easily access the AI-generated audio of shared documents. Users simply need to select the "Audio" option in the tool menu and click "Listen to this section" to start listening. Additionally, document authors can add customizable audio to their documents by using the insert audio button. Readers can then start listening by clicking the button. This design makes reading and sharing documents more interesting.
Google had previously mentioned plans to convert documents into AI podcasts in April, and this new feature provides a more direct way to listen to document content, especially for users who want to listen to their own creations. Currently, this feature only supports generating audio versions of English documents on desktop devices.
Google is currently rolling out this feature to Workspace users with commercial, enterprise, or educational plans, as well as users who subscribe to AI Pro and Ultra. As this new feature is gradually launched, users will be able to enjoy document content in a more convenient and flexible way, further improving work efficiency and reading experience.
