How to Fix Galaxy S25 Ultra Voice Typing Not Working

Voice typing makes sending messages or taking notes faster and more convenient. Instead of tapping on the keyboard, you simply speak, and your phone converts your words into text. But if voice typing suddenly stops working on your Galaxy S25 Ultra, there could be a few different reasons behind it.

It might be due to disabled microphone permissions, network issues, or a glitch with the Samsung Keyboard or Google app. Here’s how to fix it and get voice typing working again.

Why Voice Typing Might Not Be Working on Galaxy S25 Ultra

• Microphone access is disabled or restricted.
• Poor internet connection prevents accurate speech recognition.
• The default keyboard does not support voice input.
• Corrupted app cache or outdated software.
• Temporary bugs with the Google or Samsung Keyboard app.

Check Microphone Permission.

Voice typing requires microphone access to convert speech to text. If permission is off, the feature will not function at all.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap Samsung Keyboard or Google app, and then tap Permissions.

Make sure Microphone is set to Allow only while using the app. If it was denied, enabling it should fix the issue.

Verify Internet Connection.

Voice typing relies on online processing for speech recognition. If your connection is weak or unstable, it can cause delays or prevent the feature from working.

1. Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Quick Settings.
2. Make sure Wi-Fi or Mobile data is enabled and connected to a stable network.

Try using another app that requires internet access to confirm that your connection is working properly.

Re-enable Voice Input on the Keyboard.

If voice input is turned off in the keyboard settings, you will not see the microphone icon or be able to use it.

1. Open Settings, and then tap General management.
2. Tap Samsung Keyboard settings, and then tap Voice input.

Turn on Voice input if it is disabled. You can also check if Google voice typing is enabled under Keyboard list and default.

Clear Keyboard Cache and Data.

Temporary files can sometimes interfere with how voice typing functions. Clearing the app cache resets it without deleting important data.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap Samsung Keyboard, and then tap Storage.

Tap Clear cache, and if the issue persists, tap Clear data to restore the app’s default settings.

Update the Keyboard and System Software.

Outdated software can cause compatibility problems with voice features. Keeping both your apps and system up to date helps prevent issues.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
2. Tap Download and install, and follow the prompts if an update is available.

You can also open the Galaxy Store or Play Store, search for Samsung Keyboard and Google app, and install any available updates.

Reset Keyboard Settings.

If you recently customized your keyboard and it started malfunctioning, resetting its settings can bring back the default configuration.

1. Open Settings, and then tap General management.
2. Tap Samsung Keyboard settings, and then tap Reset to default settings.

Select Reset keyboard settings, and confirm the action.

Voice typing on the Galaxy S25 Ultra usually works flawlessly once the correct permissions and settings are restored. After applying these fixes, you should be able to dictate messages and notes smoothly again.
