This is very strange tinmanrusted! Do you remember if issue started after downloading a particular application? Try going to Settings>Language and Input>and make sure that Google voice typing has a check mark. Keep us posted.

Antonio - I did have a few apps update over the past few days, but I can't pin point after which update that the Speech To Text button disappeared. Smiley Sad I'm not even seeing Google Voice Typing on the Language and Input screen..

So I found a post from somebody else who was having the same issue as me from 2013, and ironically their solution actually worked! Copy & pasted below (from this post: Re: Samsung S5 microphone failing😞

"I had the same problem, missing microphone while trying to voice type a text message.

I found out that I needed to enable/ update the app "Google Search."

Go the the Play Store and search for "Google Search" and enable/ update it.

Then, go to your language and input settings to make sure "Google Voice Typing" is checked and the settings are how you would like."

Thanks for the assistance guys! Smiley Happy
