speech to text ability gone

[mysticbowtie]

As the title suggests, my speech to text ability is gone in my Note 3. The mic has disappeared from all keyboards and Google maps. I have done all of the" language and input" settings per other threads. I installed google keyboard and have the same problem.

One thing that I did, was delete some old apps from the phone. I don't know if I accidentally deleted something that had to do with the speech to text, but I might be the cause of the problem.

Does anybody know what files are needed to have the ability, or know of anything that I can do?

Cheers!
