So for awhile now when I am going to send a text message and I go to tap the microphone to. utilize speech to text it makes a double tone type of sound and doesn't do anything. Normally it makes a beep noise and turns blue and then you start speaking but now it just makes a double beeping sound like the start speaking and stop speaking tone all at once and will not activate. Any ideas as to what's causing this?or anyone else having this problem with Gboard?

Been using Google Keyboard since it dropped, never had an issue with the Voice Typing feature. Good thing, as I use it all the time.

In the past few days - maybe a week, I've been getting the same issue as you. The Voice Typing icon makes an unhappy sound and it doesn't work. A restart has fixed it every time so far.

Definitely an issue for me.

glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I cleared all caches for everything I could think of. and rolled Back to the previous update and it's working fine for now. I have no idea what's causing it but it must of been the latest Gboard update I'm thinking. before I could resolve it with a simple restart of the phone but it got to the point where it couldn't be corrected any longer.

This started for me with the public release of Oreo.
Only fix is a restart. Sometimes it will clear up on its own for a short while then come back. This combined with terrible battery performance makes me regret installing the final release of Oreo. The DP versions didn't have these problems. For me anyway.

My talk to text on Gboard has been working fine. I use it multiple times during the day and haven't had an issue yet. Hopefully it will continue to work as it has. Hope yours straightens out for you.

I exited the beta program for GBoard. Turned off auto updates for it in the play store. Then uninstalled all the updates. Worked flawless since.

Yup - I updated to O and that damn problem came right back.
As with previous posters, I uninstalled all GBoard updates and turned-off auto-update.
Working fine now.

Now that we've isolated the problem for free - Hey Google - go fix this thing!
