TabletsHi all,
First post here, so I hope you can solve it.
I have a work-provided Samsung Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro 5G. Some months ago now the microphone icon disappeared from the keyboard, and I haven't been able to get it back.
I have trawled the web looking for a fix, but to no avail.
I've gone into the General Management section and reset it to default, toggled on and off the "keyboard button of the navigation bar", made sure voice typing is enabled etc etc...
The only thing I can think of is that the tablet has actual physical buttons (home, back, etc), and the update may have been made for devices with those buttons that are now on the touchscreen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello, and welcome to our Samsung Community. I would like to understand your concern clearly. Can you provide an image of the keyboard you are currently using? Are you using the Samsung notes application?

TabletsHi there and thank you for getting back to me.
No, not using Samsung Notes.
I used to use the dictation feature whenever the keyboard popped up. I work out on site and sometimes wear gloves, so this feature was very useful when I needed to type. I just spoke to the tablet, and it typed what I wanted (in any app like Chrome/Edge, a Word doc etc), but for a good few months now the microphone icon from the keyboard has disappeared.
See the screenshot below
Thanks

TabletsWe noticed from the image you're within the UK, welcome, and as your device is a non-US model information is severely limited. However, let's keep going as good as possible, have you enabled Voice typing from your keyboard settings?
If the icon is still not showing follow these steps below:
Open Settings
General Management
Keyboard List and Defaults
Samsung Keyboard
Scroll down and click Reset Keyboard
Please note: Support for US products is the focus of this forum, we kindly suggest that you use this link to look for a support team in the area your product was manufactured in for the best possible assistance: https://www.samsung.com/us/common/visitlocation.html
