• ‘ZDNET Recommends’: What exactly does it mean? • ZDNET’s recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. • We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. • And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. • When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. • This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay.
Article Summaries:
- Google Docs has added an “Audio summary” feature that uses Gemini AI to generate and read aloud a concise summary of a document. The floating player lets users pause, adjust speed, and switch voices while listening. Designed to save time, the summaries are typically under a few minutes and cover multiple tabs. The feature is currently rolling out and is only available to users with paid plans such as Business Standard/Plus, Enterprise Standard/Plus, or the Google AI Pro/Ultra add‑ons. Users with eligible subscriptions should expect the skill to appear in their Docs after a short wait.
