Issue with speech to text

[jlost]

I have an issue with my Note 2 where I will be able to use speech to text in a text message, then later on out of no where (randomly), the icon with the microphone that allows you to speak to write text is missing. I have checked in language and input in the settins and checked unchecked everything but it doesn't come back. I even restated my phone and cleared cache partition. Anyone experience this and have a fix?

Thanks.
