OneNote dictate not showing

I got a laptop for my son to use the inbuilt Windows 10 OneNote and want to use the Dictate feature. It works fine on my profile on the same machine, but when I switch to my son's (child) profile the dictate button momentarily appears and then disappears
again permanently. I tried a test where I changed his profile to an admin one but the Dictate still does not show up.

Help appreciated.

 

OneNote for Windows 10 dictate missing

I dont have the dictate button, or any audio to text option showing up on my OneNote. when i tried to download the Learning Tools app, it said that I didnt have OneNote (i do) and would have to download it - I think the app might be for an earlier version
of OneNote and isnt compatible with the version for Windows 10?

Can someone assist me in getting dictation on my OneNote?

Thanks
