# Voice for Android Dictation Button Appears on Left Side

**Issue:**

The dictation button appears on the left side of the keyboard instead of the right side. ![dictation-button-on-left](https://cdn.us.document360.io/03b5534a-5f9a-42ce-852d-08bf09105da4/Images/Documentation/dictation-button-on-left.png)

If Note Assist is enabled, the Note Assist button switched sides with the dictation button, appearing on the right side. ![dictation-button-on-left-note-assist-on-right](https://cdn.us.document360.io/03b5534a-5f9a-42ce-852d-08bf09105da4/Images/Documentation/dictation-button-on-left-note-assist-on-right.png)
