If this is the first time you have used this voice input feature, you may be asked for authorization by the phone system to have this feature be listed on the keyboard. Once the authorization part is cleared and if you want to change the voice input settings, you can find the Voice typing settings through the following path “Settings > System > Languages & input”.
