Tech Topic 50: Audio Overviews for Anniversaries, Google Docs Tabs, Adding Alt Text to Images

This week OnEBoard celebrated their 50th episode of the Tech Topic! That's 150 tech tips you can use. 

Start with Tech Topic Episode 1 on September 25, 2022, when Nina shared about live streaming from Google Meet to YouTube, Peggy talked about YouTube monetization updates, and Bob considered why he posts on various platforms.  

In this week's Tech Topic there is a use case for AI-generated audio overviews, creating a travel guide or other large document in Google Docs, and making sure the images you share online are accessible. 

Nina Trankova: In Tech Topic 49, Nina shared how to use NotebookLM to create an AI-generated Audio Overview to share important information with clients in a listener-friendly way. This week she shared a new use case: creating a special personalized birthday or anniversary greeting. 

The Audio Overview can be downloaded as a high quality .WAV audio file which can be shared, embedded on a website or incorporated into a video.

You can listen to the full audio overview and learn how it was generated on Nina's website.

Peggy Kolm: Peggy showed how to use Google Docs to create a nice-looking travel guide by adding a cover image and using the new Tabs feature to organize the document into sections. 

You can add an emoji to the Tab name to make it visually stand out and the document can be shared with specific people or open to anyone with the link. 

You can see a sample Travel Guide here. Be sure to read the introduction tab first!

And, of course, you can Tabs to organize any sort of document.
