Dictation on new MacBook Air abruptly stops working.

Hi fellow Mac users - have you also had this problem and found a solution?


I've had my MacBook Air M1 for 2 years and over the last month have just encountered this problem for the first time: I activate the mic to dictate into an email by pressing the mic button on the top centre of the keyboard, the mic pops up and moves.....yet nothing is typed in response to my voice. I check the settings and everything is normal and (at least in Settings...) the mic looks like it is responding to the sound of my voice.

Restarting the computer fixes this....but obviously not permanently.


Does anyone know the cause and a long term fix?
