# Voice for Android Not the Default Keyboard

##### Issue:

I want to use the Voice for Android keyboard, but my Samsung keyboard is set as my default keyboard.

##### What to do:

**You may be able to tap the keyboard icon in the Android Navigation Bar to switch keyboards:**

1. Tap the **keyboard icon in the navigation bar** at the bottom of the screen.
2. From the Choose Input Method menu, select **nVoq Voice.**
3. The nVoq keyboard is now your on-screen keyboard.

**If you don't have that option, you can do this:**

1. Go to the **Settings** on your device.
