Voice Control and OS 14?

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Voice Control after upgrading to OS 14? I have a MacBook Air 2020. My dictation is on. When I turn on Voice Control, nothing happens.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.0

To troubleshoot dictation not working, you can follow:

Hope this helps.

Take care.
