This is a well known issue here, it’s because of the API required. I forget the issue exactly but it’s a Google specific API (for voice to text) of which Brave doesn’t want to implement for privacy reasons, and Google’s Search refuses to use any other support solution to this.

It’s not anything wrong with Brave or your computer. And yes, it’s unfortunate because Firefox does support this, but again there were privacy concerns over the API required to use it, so Brave simply omitted it intentionally by design.
