I used to be able to press my function key 2X and a dictation mic comes up on a page where I want to dictate. Im trying this in 2 different apps including Apple Notes and I can get the icon that says it's active but nothing happens when I talk. Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks

System Preferences : Accessibility : Voice Control -> Enable Voice Control.
If you want to be able to verbally shutoff Voice Control and have the floating microphone panel disappear, then also click the Commands… button on that Voice Control panel, and Scroll down in the list of commands until you find Turn off Voice Control. Select it, click Done, and when you want to quit Dictation… speak that phrase.
