how to find the ipad mini stock keyboard

I have an iPad mini running iOS 8 (which, by the way, isn't an option of choices on this site).

I use SwiftKey and like it very much, but there are times I would like to use voice input and I can't do that yet with SwiftKey. Checking around, it appears that I could do it with the stock iPad keyboard, but when I check under the Keyboard setting support site, there's no option to change back.

Do I have to uninstall SwiftKey every time I want to use the stock keyboard? Isn't there a way I can toggle back and forth?

Incidentally, there's no category selection for my question, so I'm asking under "apps" even though it's the stock keyboard I want.

iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1

That did it. Thanks a million. One more thing. is there anyway to change the colors of the words in the prediction section? It's very difficult to see white on gray.

You're welcome. I can't find any setting that would change the white on grey on the standard keyboard. I hadn't thought of it until you mentioned it but I'm surprized predictive isn't black on grey to match the rest rest of the keyboard, It would certainly be easier to see. I checked Swiftkey and they have predictive if you grant full access that appears easier to read.
