Voice Input on LG G3 Keyboard

[miczekif]

Anyone know how to get voice input on the LG G3 keyboard?
I have added it in the menu and activated everything but the handwriting pencil appears instead. Even after a long press on the "wheel", no voice key appears...
Please... :'(

Under language and input, is Google voice typing checked? That brings up the microphone.

It is checked.
Actualy voice typing works with another keyboard like Swiftkey ! So the problem is probably from the LG keyboard itself. Any idea?

Hi,

i am glad it works for you guys but in my phone it doesn't. Like I already said: there is no microphone when I press and hold the button.

Try this. Go to Settings, General, Language & Input.
Then click on the gear/settings icon next to LG Keyboard. Then click on Keyboard Height and layout.
Choose Bottom Row Keys
In the upper section you will see your keyboard layout. Click on the Handwriting Icon on your layout and you will see a pop-up of options (Voice, Handwriting, Setting, Clip Tray). Click on Voice input. That adds the Voice as the primary option for that button.

I've done it before. I click on Voice but then I don't see it in the keyboard but the handwriting icon instead...

One last thing I can think of. Go to Settings, Apps and find the LG Keyboard. Clear the Cache and Data and then try the steps above again.

I was missing mine to but google has integrated it into the google now structure so if you say ok google it will start listening, you contacts must be stored with google and you can then say text so n so and it will bring you into voice to text feature of the person you named. but the microphone is hidden in the settings button now and i dont like having to fumble while driving to get to it.

I was having the same problem. I had to set the keybord to Google and select the Google voice search then go into setting and adjust the keyboard height and then once I push and held the gear it finally gave me the microphone. went to messages and checked it was there so then I went back to my setting and defaulted my keyboard back to lg keyboard and the microphone stayed. Hope this helps

I know that it works for the default messaging app. but im using the messenger app because that is the only app that i can customize text tones to specific contacts.

So i tried the steps that you mentioned and it still kept showing me the pencil icon. is there another way that i can get the microphone using the messenger app?

I just changed the setting to enable voice input with the Google Keyboard - voice input works great!
The mic symbol is in the upper right of the keyboard.
