Text to speech freezing on the new macOS Ventura causing me to toggle the dictation feature on and off after restarting computer. This is incredibly annoying for somebody who needs assistive technology to simply work, which was a huge selling point.

Dictation in Pages I have MACOS Monterey, and Pages 12.1 I initiated dictation by the Apple > Preferences > keyboard > dictation. Page's Dictation worked briefly, but now does not. I cannot get rid of the microphone icon on my screen. I've tried the two alternatives of "automatic" and "internal". Neither makes a difference. I've restarted computer a couple times - no change. In Pages > Edit; there is supposed to be a choice of "dictation." But dictation is not listed in the "edit" drop down menu. What else can I do to get dictation to work; or, alternatively how do I get rid of the microphone icon on my screen?
