How to use your Chromebook's dictation tool to save yourself hours of typing

- What it is
- A how-to article on Chromebook Dictation, published on October 21, 2023 and last reviewed on November 15, 2023. It includes a table of Dictation voice commands with a short description of each one.
- How much weight it carries
- A third-party tech site, not Google. It is dated, and the command list may not match current ChromeOS releases. We could not open Google's own Chromebook help page on the day we checked, so this is the only page we read that lists the commands. Use it as a dated secondary source and check the current command list on Google's help page.
Facts taken from this source
- A 2023 Chrome Unboxed guide to Chromebook Dictation lists the voice command "New line", which moves the cursor to a new line.
““Help” Opens a support help center article. “New line” Moves the cursor to a new line. “Move to the next character” Moves the cursor right one character.” (Table of Dictation voice commands)
- A 2023 Chrome Unboxed guide to Chromebook Dictation says that, besides words, you can speak punctuation to Dictation.
“Aside from simply speaking words and punctuation, what else can you tell Dictation to do for you?” (Introduction, sections on spoken commands)
