Google Docs will now let you generate audio versions of your documents using artificial intelligence. In a post announcing the rollout, Google says you can customize Gemini’s AI audio output with different voices and playback speeds.

This feature isn’t just for a document’s creator, as Google says readers can access a shared document’s AI-generated audio by selecting the Tool dropdown menu and selecting Audio > Listen to this tab. Authors can also add a customizable audio button directly in a document by choosing Insert > Audio, which readers can click to start listening.

The rollout for most users (Scheduled Release domains) will be a full rollout starting on August 25, 2025. This feature is available to most paid Google Workspace customers, including:

  • Business Standard and Plus
  • Enterprise Standard and Plus
  • Customers with the Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium add-on
  • Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers

This is a fantastic and practical new tool, and we’re excited to see how it improves the Google Docs experience for everyone.
