how to turn on enhanced dictation

You enable Enhanced Dictation with a simple change in the System Preferences utility. Open the Dictation & Speech pane, and on the Dictation screen, enable Use Enhanced Dictation. Your Mac will proceed to download roughly 800MB of necessary data.

Actually, it has returned. Under the previous MacOSes, we had to turn off Voice Control to get it. Now it is apparently better to turn Voice Control on. After I turned it on, I was able to Show Commands and access other things that were in enhanced dictation.

Durn it, I can't boot into Monterey just now, maybe another helper can step in.

I have lost enhanced dictation, too. Please help.

Good work! :)
