Help How do I re-activate S-voice?

I deactivated the S-voice command by eliminating the double-click of the home sceeen button, but now I would like to have that feature back. Anyone know how I can do that? I cannot find S-voice anywhere in my S4 now.
 
It should be in your app drawer, but if it is not there I'm stumped. I can dig out the .apk as a flashable .zip, but you would need to be rooted to (re)install it.
 
When you open your app drawer, hit Menu>Show Hidden Apps

If it's listed on the list that opens, it was hidden and you need to put a checkmark in the box and hit save to bring it back to your regular app drawer.
 
Okay. I checked, but I do not have any hidden apps. I double and triple checked my app drawer to see if S-voice was in it, but it is just not there. My phone is not rooted, so I know I didn't mess with any settings that could have deleted it. The only thing I did was when I double clicked my home button, I unchecked the box to disable the double-click feature of S-voice.
 
From the home screen, check Menu/Settings/More.../Application Manager.

Swipe to the right to the one that says all.

Scroll to the very bottom to see if you disabled it.

Thank you. I was looking alphabetically and didn't see it in the S's. But when I scrolled all the way down, it was there (with one other disabled app).
I don't remember disabling it or the other app, but I let someone else play with my phone for a bit, and I think they disabled them.
