I lost my keyboard function, and am left with only speech input. How to I get the keyboard back?

Go to the Google Play Store. Speak "keyboard" in the search. You should see an app for Google Keyboard 2-3 down. Make sure it is enabled. Once enabled you will be able to turn off Google Speech.

2. settings > accessibility > installation of webscripts (turn it off)

Good luck

Can't remember off the top of my head but fairly sure there is a 123 button bottom left of the keyboard that changed it from text input to numeric/symbol input.

You need to press the Function button, then the num lock button. The function button may be labeled FN or F in a different color, the same color as the num lock button.

If that doesn't work, go to start, all programs, accessories, accesibility, on screen keyboard....it will display a regular keyboard on your screen, then click on the num lock key on that keyboard.
