Howdy,
Please see Dictate messages and documents on Mac
Once enabled, Dictate text
3. When the feedback window shows a microphone icon with a fluctuating loudness indicator, or you hear the tone that signals your Mac is ready for keyboard dictation, dictate your text. Note: For best results, speak for no more than 40 seconds at a time.
4. To insert a punctuation mark or perform simple formatting tasks, do any of the following:
For a list of the commands you can use while dictating, see Commands for dictating text.
5. If you set up keyboard dictation for multiple languages and want to switch languages as you dictate, click the language in the feedback window, then choose the language you want.
For information about setting up keyboard dictation for multiple languages, see “Turn on keyboard dictation,” above.
6. When you’re done, press the dictation keyboard shortcut, the Return key, or click Done in the feedback window.
Ambiguous text is underlined in blue. If the text is wrong, click it and select an alternative. You can also type or dictate the correct text.
Note with Catalina and Big Sur, Enhanced Dictation is no longer an option as it was with Mojave and earlier.
So like it says, "For best results, speak for no more than 40 seconds at a time."
