Dictation not working

MacBook Air M1 chip

Sonoma 14.0

Pages 13.2

I have turned on Dictation and tried to dictate into a Pages document but it's not typing anything.

I've read and followed all the suggestions for sorting this out but it still doesn't work.

I have a good internet connection (wifi) and using the internal mic.

Any suggestions?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.0
