Do you have to do something to make voice input exist?
It's listed as an option in the toolbar settings but the button doesn't appear on the toolbar. Even with everything else disabled and just the voice input button enabled: the toolbar is totally empty...
There's also no microphone permissions...
On my keyboard, there's an arrow pointing to the right like this: ">" in the top left corner.
When I click that it opens up my toolbar which has the microphone symbol. If I click that it opens the google microphone and that's as far as I want to go as I don't use voice to text ever.
If you don't see that symbol, you may need play with the settings but I wouldn't have enabled it purposely so it should be there by defaul.
That icon didn't show up until I installed another voice app. FUTO voice is what I'm using now alongside Heliboard. Seems to work nicely so far.
You can try Sayboard, works well for me (even if it hasn't been updated for a while)
