Let Your (Google) Voice Be Heard . . .and Translated

I have been meaning to write this post for awhile. I ran across a blog post a few weeks ago: 5 Fantastic Fluency Tools for Teaching World Languages, that reminded me of the fact I really wanted to share some ideas around using the translate tool and Google voice typing with English learners. I was thinking more about the translate tool in Docs, but when I discovered that the voice tool was multilingual, well, "You had me at ¡hola!"

I created a short video about how to use both voice typing and translate in Google Docs. . .enjoy. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas you may have to help our students. If you are a Spanish speaker and you figured out how to speak the voice commands for grammar, please share in the comments area. Don't forget to make the video full screen for your viewing pleasure!


Be Awesome Today,

  5. My company was planning to go international, and the first step was to get a multi-language version of our website, which was only in English at the beginning. We did a search and found ACE CHINESE TRANSLATION, the best known translation agency based in China who provides excellent translation and reliable client services.
