S23U: Where is the Voice-to-text mic for keyboard?!

[jasmineberg]

I have a galaxy S23 Ultra and updated this morning to 6.1 and now can't use voice to text in my text app.  It installed some AI Advanced Intelligence, which I've disabled and turned off in every area, yet it's still functioning and I cannot use voice to text anywhere.  

Voice input in keyboard is on samsung voice input as I do not choose to allow the permissions required for the gboard (they're riduculous!)

Please advise as to how to get the basic voice to text feature back.  These updates keep screwing up the phones and it's frustrating and annoying to say the least. Just want the old, simple functions please.  Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. Now I can't use talk to text at all on my messages or this post even. **bleep** samsung?

I found a new setting in the Samsung keyboard screen, the one where you can change from tapping to swiping inputs to text, and it has a feature to turn on. This new feature is press and hold spacebar for 3 seconds to enable talk to text. I hope this helps.

I'll copy and paste my response here and hope it helps you, too.
