Dictation not working (13.0 Ventura (22A380))

My dictation feature is not working on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017). I can see on the microphone that it hears what I am saying but no words are transcibed. I've tried it in Pages, Messages, Safari, etc. Same result, you can see the microphone is hearing what I am saying but no transcription. I've also gone to setting and turned diction on and off to no avail.


Looking for suggestions.


Thanks!

iMac

Try this:


Go to ~/Library/Preferences


Locate com.apple.assistant.plist and move it to the Trash


System Settings > Keyboard in the sidebar. Go to Dictation on the right, then turn it off. 


Reboot


Re-enable Dictation
