You could of course choose "Ask every time" but that would be pretty annoying. If you accidentally, or on purpose, pick "Don't allow" then you'll have to go in through the then current method on your specific device and Android version and give permission back. Your device likely has other option that may or may not need permissions, such as handwriting.

iOS:

recent Macs:

In the system settings, select keyboard then make sure 'dictation' is selected

It depends on your flavor and version of Linux and whether you have any extra software that changes how it works. But look for a method that has a microphone option to click or a system setting to make it always on.
