NEW GOOGLE DOCS FEATURE — Helps With Video Scripts!

🔥

Hey everyone, in a recent post in one of the groups I’m part of, we were asked to share something new we’d discovered that might help other creators. I am attaching a video that I came accross today that I think can be a major help for anyone who writes video scripts!

📹 The video is by Justin Brown and it’s titled:“This new Google Docs Tool is a Game Changer for Video Scripts.”

He walks through a brand-new Google Docs feature that lets your document read itself out loud using natural-sounding AI voices. It’s called “Listen to this tab,” and it’s powered by Google’s Gemini technology.

What makes this so useful is that we often write our scripts to read well, but not necessarily to sound natural when spoken.This tool helps bridge that gap by letting you hear your words back — so you can smooth out clunky phrasing and make your delivery feel more authentic before hitting record.

🛠️ HOW TO FIND IT (When It Rolls Out to You)

Here’s how Google says you’ll be able to access it once it reaches your account:

Open your script in Google Docs on desktop (English only for now).
In the top menu, click → Tools → Audio → Listen to this tab.
A small floating player will appear — hit ▶️ to start listening.
Use the three-dot menu (⋮) on the player to:
You can even add a clickable audio button inside your doc for later playback:
The playback window can be dragged or repositioned anywhere on your screen.

⚙️ WHAT GOOGLE SAYS ABOUT ACCESS

According to Google’s official updates, this feature is rolling out gradually — starting with select Google Workspace and Gemini AI users.

It’s currently available to:

Business Standard / Plus
Enterprise Standard / Plus
Gemini Education / Education Premium
Google AI Pro and Ultra tiers

If you’re using a free or personal Gmail account, you probably won’t see it yet.The rollout is happening in stages across “Rapid Release” and “Scheduled Release” domains, so it may take a few weeks (or months) before everyone has it.
