  • Create and edit documents online
  • Format documents with Google Fonts typefaces, images, tables, and more
  • Import and export files in multiple formats (PDF, txt, etc.)
  • Auto-sync files in Google Drive
  • Live co-edit with invited authors
  • Voice typing with the computer microphone or connected microphone in Chrome
  • Get Add-ons with extended functions
Google Doc’s software interface
