Google Docs is now equipped with an audio summarization feature powered by Gemini, the company’s artificial intelligence model. The modern tool allows users to quickly grasp the key takeaways from lengthy documents by converting the text into an audio format.
The feature, recently rolled out as part of a Workspace update, leverages Gemini’s capabilities to condense long-form content into digestible audio summaries. This update aims to improve productivity and accessibility for users who prefer to listen to documents rather than read them.
According to reports, the audio summaries are designed to help users quickly catch up on information, particularly useful for reviewing extensive reports or articles. The integration of Gemini signifies Google’s commitment to incorporating AI-driven features into its productivity suite.
The update signals growing competition in the AI sector as companies race to integrate generative AI into everyday applications. Users can now access these summaries directly within Google Docs, streamlining their workflow and enhancing their ability to process information efficiently.
