Here are the Google Docs Hacks You Wish You Knew Yesterday

We can pretty much guarantee you haven’t used Google Docs quite like this… and if you have, just remember: “Nobody likes a show-off” which is exactly what you’ll be doing with these Google Docs hacks.

Below we go through a few ways to use this application trusted by +2 billion users worldwide.

Here’s what you’ve probably been missing:

New docs just that quick

Need to start a fresh doc in your moment of inspiration?

Type “docs.new” in your browser.

Bam! You’ll have a new page in front of you where you can jot down 30 ways to work Squid Games into your content marketing this month.

And this works not only in Google Chrome, but also in Firefox, Microsoft, and Safari.

Multiple accounts. No problem.

You no longer have to get annoyed going back and forth between accounts to make a new doc.

Try this instead: type a number after “docs.new.” It will automatically link to an associated Google account when it creates your newest doc.

Here’s what it would look like:

  • docs.new/1 goes to your primary Google account
  • docs.new/2 goes to your secondary Google account

Just make sure you keep track of which number is associated with which account.

Slay the writer’s block monster

While your fingers may run out of steam, your mouth can still run a mile a minute.

Instead of writing, you can turn on the dictation feature on your Google doc. Here’s how:

  • Google Doc navigation bar > Tools > Voice Typing

This feature is also useful if you are working with clients and want to transcribe meeting notes that you can review later.

There is tons of transcription software out there that you could use for this, but why pay for it if this is free?

So if you’re a writer, a content marketer, or any type of individual that uses Google Docs your working day should be just a little bit easier with these Google Docs hacks.
