• Google could soon add a new Audio shortcut to Keep’s FAB to give you quick access to the app’s speech-to-text feature.
• The app could also get a new settings option that converts the FAB into a shortcut for creating text notes only.
• Google is also prepping a few visual changes for the app, including a new refresh animation.

Google Keep already has a speech-to-text feature to help you easily dictate notes if you don’t feel like typing. However, you need to create a new text note and then select the Recording option hidden within the Add menu to use it. To simplify things, Google appears to be adding a new shortcut to let you start recording a note right from the app’s home screen.
