La saisie vocale Samsung ne fonctionne pas après une mise à jour ? Le correctif de la galaxie
Le bouton du microphone de votre clavier Samsung a disparu après une mise à jour de One UI, ou Google Voice Typing est grisé et a arrêté de taper. Voici pourquoi cela se produit sur les Galaxy S24, S25 et S26, les paramètres exacts de One UI qui ramènent le micro et le clavier privé, hors ligne sur l'appareil qui ne dépend pas d'un moteur vocal Google, une mise à jour peut être désactivée.
Préface
You open a message, tap the Samsung Keyboard, and the microphone button is gone. Or it is still there, you tap it, and Google Voice Typing sits on "Listening" without typing a single word. This started right after a One UI update on your Galaxy S24, S25, or S26, and now voice typing that worked for months does nothing.
You are not doing anything wrong, and your phone is not broken. A recent One UI update almost certainly reset a keyboard setting rather than removing the feature. Reports of the mic disappearing or Google Voice Typing breaking after an update span the Galaxy S23, S24, S25 Ultra, and S26, plus the Z Fold and Flip and A-series, and some users saw the mic vanish right after installing the Gemini app. The good news: there is a genuine fix, it is quick, and this guide walks through it in order before showing you the one keyboard that does not vanish on an over-the-air update.
Pourquoi Samsung Voice Typing cesse de fonctionner après une mise à jour
The single most-reported cause on the Galaxy community forums is a settings reset that hides the mic rather than a broken feature. After recent One UI updates, widely reported starting with One UI 7.0 on the S24 and S25 and continuing on the S26, many users found that voice input only works once the "Keyboard button on navigation bar" setting is turned on. When that toggle is off after an update, the keyboard mic button disappears and Google Voice Typing greys out. Flip the toggle on and the mic reappears in the bottom-left corner.
So the first thing to understand is that "my voice typing stopped working" is usually not a bug at all. An update quietly changed a default, and the feature is waiting behind a switch.
But the nav-bar toggle is not the only trigger. A few other things stop Samsung voice typing after an update, and it helps to know which one you are hitting.
The voice engine got deselected. On the "Keyboard list and default" screen, "Google Voice Typing" can be toggled off, or Samsung Keyboard can be left pointing at the wrong voice engine. When that happens the mic is either missing or greyed out until you re-enable and re-select it.
A permission reset killed the mic. Updates sometimes reset app permissions. If the microphone permission for the Samsung Keyboard (or Gboard) is revoked, the keyboard opens normally but captures nothing when you tap the mic.
The network dropped mid-session. Google Voice Typing is cloud-dependent by default. Your audio is streamed to Google's servers for transcription, so a weak or unstable connection, a dropped signal, or the app losing focus mid-sentence makes it stall on "Listening" with no text. This is the classic "it works, then it stops" symptom.
The keyboard cache got corrupted. An update can leave the keyboard in a bad state where the cached data no longer matches the new version. Clearing the cache resets that without wiping your learned words.
The Gemini app changed the default. Some Galaxy owners report that installing the Gemini app made the keyboard mic vanish, because the voice-input default shifted underneath them.
Comment réparer la saisie vocale Samsung (les étapes Galaxy, dans l'ordre)
Work through these in order. Reboot first, then start at the top. On One UI 7 (the S24, S25, and S26) the nav-bar button in step two is the single most common fix, so do not skip it. The exact menu is Settings > General management > Keyboard list and default, not the top-level "Language and input," so get that path right.
Reboot, then check if the mic is hiddenCheck
Restart the phone. Open any text field, tap the Samsung Keyboard, and look for the microphone icon in the top row or the bottom-left corner. If it is simply missing, an update reset a setting rather than breaking anything, and the next step brings it back.
Turn on the nav-bar keyboard buttonOne UI 7
Go to Settings, General management, Keyboard list and default, and toggle on Keyboard button on navigation bar. On the Galaxy S24, S25, and S26 this is the fix that solves most cases, and the mic reappears in the bottom-left corner of the keyboard.
Re-enable and re-select Google Voice TypingEngine
On the same Keyboard list and default screen, confirm Google Voice Typing is toggled on. Then tap Samsung Keyboard, Voice input, and choose Google Voice Typing, which gives you spoken punctuation like "comma" and "period." If it stays greyed out, set it as the default input method.
Grant microphone permissionApps
Go to Settings, Apps, Samsung Keyboard, Permissions, Microphone, and set it to Allow. Repeat for Gboard if you use it. An update sometimes resets this, which makes the keyboard open normally but capture nothing when you tap the mic.
Clear the keyboard cacheStorage
Go to Settings, Apps, Samsung Keyboard (or Gboard), Storage, Clear cache, then restart the phone. This clears the corrupted post-update state and does not wipe your dictionary or learned words, so it is safe to try before any reset.
Re-add your language and update the appsLanguage
Under Settings, General management, Language and input, On-screen keyboard, Samsung Keyboard, Languages and types, remove and re-add your language so the voice model re-registers. Then update Samsung Keyboard and Gboard in both the Galaxy Store and Play Store and restart.
If the mic still refuses to appear, there are two manual workarounds. Long-press the comma key or the space bar on the Samsung Keyboard to reach the mic icon, then long-press the mic to pick "Google voice input" by hand. You can also set Samsung Keyboard > "Touch and hold space bar" to "Voice input," so holding the space bar always starts dictation.
The last resort on the stock keyboard is a reset. Go to Settings > General management > Keyboard list and default > Samsung Keyboard > Reset to default settings, then walk through the toggles above again. Be warned that this wipes your learned words and you will have to re-add your languages, so treat it as the final option, not the first.
That is the complete, genuine fix for the built-in tool. Notice what none of it changes: the voice typing still runs on Google's engine, still streams your audio to Google's servers, and can still be reset by the next update. The steps fix today's outage. They do not stop the next one.
La saisie vocale Samsung fonctionne-t-elle hors ligne ?
Not really, and this is worth understanding because it explains the "works, then stops" behaviour. Google Voice Typing streams your audio to Google's servers for transcription by default, so a weak signal or a dropped connection stalls it on "Listening" with no text.
Gboard does have an offline voice-typing option, downloaded at Gboard Settings > Voice typing > Offline speech recognition, and an English (US) pack is roughly 200 to 300 MB. But the offline model is smaller and meaningfully less accurate than the online path. It struggles with complex sentences, accents, and noisy rooms, and far fewer languages are supported offline than the 100-plus available online. So the honest picture is that Samsung and Gboard voice typing is cloud-first, with a weaker offline fallback bolted on.
If you have taken the privacy route further and de-Googled your phone, this gets worse. On setups like GrapheneOS, Google has at times disabled Gboard voice typing entirely without network access, and Gboard often fails to download the offline voice packs at all. That is why privacy users move to keyboards that keep speech fully on the device, such as FUTO Keyboard (a fully local keyboard with local speech) or HeliBoard (an open-source AOSP fork with no built-in voice) paired with FUTO Voice Input for offline dictation. Those are more open-source than most commercial keyboards, and they are a genuinely good fit if maximum openness is your priority.
La solution durable : un clavier qui ne disparaît pas lors d’une mise à jour
Every fix above either re-enables Google Voice Typing or works around a piece of it. None of them removes the underlying fragility: your dictation depends on a Google voice engine that a Samsung update, a permission reset, or the Gemini app can toggle away, and that streams your audio to the cloud by default. If your real pain is "it keeps breaking after updates," the honest answer is to stop depending on that chain.
That is where Yaps comes in. Yaps is a full customizable Android keyboard (a complete IME) with its own on-device voice typing built in. It does not borrow Google Voice Typing, so a One UI update that resets the Google engine does not touch it. You tap the dictation button on the Yaps keyboard and it runs a modern speech model on your phone, fully offline. Nothing is streamed to a server, and there is no network connection to drop mid-sentence.
- Depends on a Google voice engine an update, a permission reset, or the Gemini app can switch off
- Streams your audio to Google's servers by default, so a dropped connection stalls it on "Listening"
- The mic button can disappear entirely after a One UI update until you re-enable a hidden toggle
- The offline Gboard model is smaller, less accurate, and covers far fewer languages
- No built-in cleanup of filler words, so raw speech lands exactly as heard
- An independent keyboard with its own voice typing, so an OTA cannot toggle it away
- Runs a modern speech model on your phone, so your audio never leaves the device
- Works fully offline, on a plane, on the underground, or with no signal at all
- Multilingual dictation across about 25 languages, auto-detected from your speech
- Cleans up filler words, fixes punctuation and capitalisation, and formats lists on-device
The privacy difference is not a footnote. Google Voice Typing sends your voice to Google to transcribe; Yaps runs its on-device speech engine on your own phone, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is logged to a server. Because the recognition happens locally, there is no "Listening" limbo when the signal wobbles. You tap, you talk, the text lands.
The fix for a mic that vanishes after an update is not to re-enable it faster. It is a keyboard that was never wired to a switch someone else controls.
There is one more thing the stock setup cannot do. When you dictate messy speech (with "um," restarts, and half-finished sentences) Google Voice Typing drops it into the field exactly as it heard it. Yaps runs on-device text cleanup: it strips the filler words, fixes the punctuation and capitalisation, and auto-formats lists and numbers, all without a cloud round-trip. And Yaps is a full keyboard, not just a mic, so you also get themes, selectable fonts, autocorrect, glide typing, one-handed mode, and clipboard history for text and images in the same package.
Quand l'outil intégré fonctionne toujours correctement
To be fair to Samsung: if the fix steps above brought your mic back, you are usually online, and you do not mind your audio going to Google, the built-in voice typing is convenient and free. Re-enable the nav-bar button, re-select the engine, grant the permission, and it will serve you for everyday messages.
Gboard's offline pack is also a reasonable safety net for the occasional no-signal moment, as long as you accept that it is less accurate and covers fewer languages than the online path. And if maximum openness is your goal above all else, the FOSS route (FUTO Keyboard, or HeliBoard with FUTO Voice Input) is more open-source than Yaps and worth a look.
The moment your pain is specifically "it keeps breaking after updates," or "I do not want my voice going to Google," or "I need this to work with no signal," that is where an independent on-device keyboard wins.

Foire aux questions
Why did my voice typing stop working after a Samsung update?
Your voice typing most likely stopped because a One UI update reset a keyboard setting rather than removing the feature. The most common cause on the Galaxy S24, S25, and S26 is that the "Keyboard button on navigation bar" toggle was switched off, which hides the microphone button. Updates can also reset the microphone permission, deselect Google Voice Typing as the engine, or leave the keyboard cache in a corrupted state. Turn the nav-bar button back on, re-select Google Voice Typing, and re-grant the mic permission, and it usually returns.
How do I get the microphone button back on my Samsung keyboard?
Go to Settings, General management, Keyboard list and default, and toggle on "Keyboard button on navigation bar." On One UI 7 for the Galaxy S24, S25, and S26 the microphone reappears in the bottom-left corner once this is on. If it is still missing, confirm Google Voice Typing is toggled on in that same list, then tap Samsung Keyboard, Voice input, and select Google Voice Typing. As a manual workaround you can long-press the comma key or the space bar to reach the mic icon directly.
Why is Google Voice Typing greyed out on my Samsung keyboard?
Google Voice Typing greys out when it is not enabled or not set as the active voice engine after an update. Go to Settings, General management, Keyboard list and default, and make sure Google Voice Typing is toggled on. Then tap Samsung Keyboard, Voice input, and choose Google Voice Typing. If it still stays greyed out, set Google Voice Typing as the default input method, which several Galaxy users had to do before it would work again.
Why does my Samsung keyboard mic say "Listening" but not type anything?
That symptom is almost always a network problem, because Google Voice Typing streams your audio to Google's servers to transcribe it. A weak or unstable connection, a dropped signal, or the app losing focus mid-sentence leaves it stuck on "Listening" with nothing appearing. Try a stronger connection, or download Gboard's offline voice pack for a weaker but local fallback. For dictation that never waits on a server, an on-device keyboard like Yaps runs the speech model on your phone, so there is no "Listening" limbo.
How do I enable the keyboard button on the navigation bar on Samsung?
Go to Settings, General management, Keyboard list and default, and toggle on "Keyboard button on navigation bar." That single switch is the fix for most post-update cases on the Galaxy S24, S25, and S26, because a One UI update commonly resets it to off. Once it is on, a small keyboard button appears in the navigation bar and the microphone reappears in the bottom-left corner of the keyboard.
Did One UI 7 remove Google Voice Typing from Galaxy phones?
No. One UI 7 did not remove Google Voice Typing, but it is widely reported to have reset the settings that expose it, which makes it look removed. The most common change is that voice input only works once "Keyboard button on navigation bar" is turned on, so the mic disappears when that toggle is off after the update. Re-enable that setting, confirm Google Voice Typing is toggled on, and re-select it as the voice engine, and it comes back.
How do I set Google Voice Typing as the default on a Samsung Galaxy?
Open Settings, General management, Keyboard list and default, and make sure Google Voice Typing is toggled on in the list. Then tap Samsung Keyboard, Voice input, and select Google Voice Typing as the engine. If it still refuses to activate or stays greyed out, set Google Voice Typing as the default input method from that same screen, which forces the system to route voice input through it.
Why did the mic disappear from my keyboard after installing Gemini?
Some Galaxy owners report that installing the Gemini app changed the voice-input default, which made the Samsung Keyboard mic vanish. The fix is the same as for a general post-update reset: go to Settings, General management, Keyboard list and default, confirm Google Voice Typing is toggled on, re-select it under Samsung Keyboard, Voice input, and turn on "Keyboard button on navigation bar." If you prefer voice typing that no app can reassign, an independent keyboard like Yaps runs its own on-device engine and is not affected by which assistant app is installed.
Does Samsung voice typing work offline, without internet?
Not by default. Google Voice Typing streams your audio to Google's servers to transcribe, so it needs a connection to work reliably. Gboard offers an offline voice-typing pack at Gboard Settings, Voice typing, Offline speech recognition, but the offline model is smaller, less accurate, and supports far fewer languages than the online path. For genuinely offline dictation, Yaps runs a modern speech model entirely on your phone, so it works with no signal and never uploads your audio.
How do I clear the Samsung Keyboard cache without losing my words?
Go to Settings, Apps, Samsung Keyboard, Storage, and tap "Clear cache," then restart the phone. Clearing the cache resets the corrupted post-update state without touching your dictionary, so your learned words are safe. Do not tap "Clear data" or "Reset to default settings" unless nothing else works, because those do wipe your learned words and your added languages, which you would then have to set up again.
Réflexions finales
If your Samsung voice typing is not working after an update, work the Galaxy steps in order: reboot, turn on the keyboard button on the navigation bar, re-enable and re-select Google Voice Typing, grant the microphone permission, clear the keyboard cache, and re-add your language. On the S24, S25, and S26 the nav-bar toggle alone solves most cases. Those steps fix today's outage, and they are worth doing.
What they cannot fix is the fragility underneath. Your dictation still runs on a Google voice engine that the next update, a permission reset, or a new assistant app can switch off, and that streams your audio to the cloud by default. No dictation is perfect, and accuracy always depends on your microphone, background noise, and accent. But a keyboard that keeps its voice typing on the device, and does not borrow an engine an OTA can toggle away, does not vanish on you every few months.
For that specific pain, Yaps is the default recommendation. It is a full Android keyboard with its own on-device voice typing that works offline, cleans up your speech locally, and does not depend on Google Voice Typing at all. It is free to start, and it carries across Android, Windows, and macOS, with vault sync between your phone and your desktop. Fix the Galaxy settings today, and if you are tired of fixing them, switch to a keyboard that was never wired to a switch someone else controls.
