Hello,

do you know a way to enable text input via Microphone in the settings of Gboard via MobiControl?

We use Lenovo P11 tablets with Android 11.

I appreciate any tips - thanks in advance to the community!

Best regards
Thorsten

If your device is enrolled with Android-Enterprise device agent and the Gboard app is deployed from Managed Google Play store, then you can check if enabling "Voice typing" option of the Google Gboard app entry in the Managed App Config tab of your MobiControl App Policy can achieve what you want or not.

Hello Raymond,

thank you for your answer! Basically, this also solves my problem, but do you know a way to distribute this setting to the devices via script?

Thanks for your answer in advance!

Hi Thorsten Konrad,

As an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution, we do not have any scripts or capabilities to enable or configure all the options that a specific application provides through the Manage app config in Advanced configuration.

This is because the availability of the Manage app config depends on the application itself. Only certain vendors like Google, Microsoft, and others provide this additional feature that can be controlled.

So the only option we are having is to change these features manually in the Manage app config.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding this issue, please feel free to let us know.
