keyboard menu has option for speach to text, but..

[AndroidMax]

Hi. The keyboard options menu when sending a text includes "Voice to text" on or off, and says that when on, a microphone will be displayed allowing you to speak your message. I have turned it on, off, rebooted, updated, etc, and my phone will not do this. It is a Sprint model, and the only other non native app I have on the phone is Google Voice. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I don't use the stock Samsung keyboard but I went back and checked mine for you... On mine, if I hold down on the little gear icon to the left of the space bar the voice icon will pop up and allow me to use voice to text. Give that a shot.

I know there are several different ways of doing this. I can use the Galaxy Voice app and just say "Text *contact name here*" , say my message and that's it, it does everything for me. If I open a messaging app and go the manual route when you have the keyboard on screen select the gear to the left of the space bar and hold it down for a second. This will cause a small context menu to pop up that contains several options(Microphone(Voice), T(Text),..exc.) . Select the microphone and you will be able to speak your message. I know there are other ways to do this but these are just the ones I have discovered thus far.

Using Android Voice commands to put in a question mark you just say "Question Mark". Not sure if Google voice is the same or not.
