I have an HTC desire C and want to turn off Google voice typing The keyboard is so small that I keep hitting the voice typing microphone icon but I don't want to use that feature ever. It's too slow and lags. 

So, I want to turn it off completely. Under settings>language &amp; keyboard> keyboard &amp; input methods, there is no option to turn it off.

This thread: How to turn on/off voice typing is similar but addresses another model that does appear to have an on/off feature or box to check to enable or disable. HTC Desire C does not seem to. 

So how can I turn it off or disable it?
Disable both Google Voice Typing (in the keyboard menu) as well as Voice Input key (under Languages).
