voice to text help

[xdoublejx]

I asked this on Crack berry too, but figured I'd ask the android people for help. On my old BlackBerry Passport I could push and hold the period button and it would dictated my speech to text for email, small, bbm etc. I cannot figure out how to turn that on for my BlackBerry Priv. My buddy has a Priv and he has a microphone above his comma on his virtual keyboard which I don't have. And my menu button on my period button has my microphone grayed out. It's weird though cause I can send voice memos so it's accessing it???

Any help??

Thanks guys!

Settings - personal section - language + input


Check Google speech and input options.

You can also trigger voice to speak on the keyboard

Alt and double click 0 fast.

Right now I am speaking to you and it is typing for me it is pretty impressive I use this feature all the time

Thanks I didn't have Google voice typing installed. That's was the issue. Thanks for you help though!
