For example, I mention someone named (not a real person afaik) Barbaree McAninch. Instead of accepting "barberry McNinch" is there a way to give a command indicating I am going to spell a word letter by letter?
Failing that, what do you recommend as a workaround?
Thanks, @VikingOSX. While reading your link about Voice Control, I found that spelling out a word is a new feature in Ventura.

This is great because it means I don’t have to anticipate every unusual word or name in advance and teach macOS to recognize it.

You can create a text entry for that proper name and tell dictation that when you say BahBahWahWah, it will insert the real person's name. See Use Voice Control on your Mac - Apple Support
I had to do this with a given name (e.g. Nancy) as dictation absolutely refused to get it right.
You are welcome. Hope "Spelling Mode" works for you as you are at the mercy of dictation's pronunciation recognition for each spoken letter.

No you don't and yes it is. 😎
When dictating, is there a way to spell out an unusual word or name?
