This article takes a look at three features of Google Docs you probably never knew existed. Whether it’s not knowing how to clone a Google spreadsheet or realize they’d like to search if they already saved the document, it’s never too late to learn more about these features that are always available in your Gmail account . The good news is that you should be able to take advantage of these features no matter what version of Docs. So try them out, and see if they aren’t something you’d like above other benefits of Docs.
1 – Works Offline Google docs has the standard “save” button on its preview page which allows you to save changes if you’re online, or else upload if off-line. Despite this, there often seems to be little purpose behind this online-only behavior
Finding text in PDF
For most bloggers, Microsoft Word is the main tool used to create content. However, there are other applications out there that provide added functionality. One of those tools is Google Docs. It is accessible through a browser and enables anyone to create and edit content without learning an entirely new application. However, one of the features that might be overlooked by people who have only worked with Word is text recognition. Text recognition is the ability to search and retrieve text from certain documents. The usual senses you may use to search for text in a PDF are words, or the matching of numbers. These features can quickly save the author valuable time in editing content on their computer.
Automatically play my recordings (How to)
The capstone of Google Docs’ new features is the “play recordings” option. This enables you to make voices a part of your document that will read aloud. This means you can have a PowerPoint presentation or seminar questions read back to you by someone else. Just click on the play button next to where you recorded them, and voila! You just need to write them down. Stick stuff in Google Docs. I have had success with writing a pretty normal-length document, then adding an interactive table of contents (via eye). Name and save the document with extension jpg or o [as this works best for Google’s image recognition script].
It will take a little while for your images to process and get converted to SmartGoggles notes, but they will soon enough appear in your files or displayed directly
Silencing the speaker while listening to keynote presentations
With this option, people can turn the speaker off and save themselves from having to hear some of the speakers voice when they recording at a low volume. It is often worth it to most people. Multiple Track Recording: Multiple track recording makes it possible to record into two time slots while listening on the speaker. Multiple recorder locates an event and starts both of their cc’s at the same time, these second recordings are then added to the c1. This is a simple feature, but those with multiple technologies may find this an attractive option.
Audiobus support: For those using Audiobus there is an easy way to import your Doppler recordings into playback systems
Where can i find help on Google Docs?
Google Docs has many features that make it difficult to know where help is available. Here are three ways in which Google Docs experts can provide assistance.
1) Go to Tools > Help and make sure the Post a Question box is checked. This will allow you to create your own question about Google Docs for other members of the community to review. Members who are experts in their skillset can provide their feedback back to you based on their training, experience, background, and years of expertise with the topic.
2) When you need help, there is always someone in the community available to step up. If Google Docs isn’t your field of expertise just yet, start by getting them involved and discussing Google Docs possibilities with them before jumping right into editing or creating content.
3) If you have specific questions related to how Google Docs runs or how a feature works, send an email via Gmail or chat via Hangouts with support@google.com and let them help you.
