On a Mac with Apple silicon, general text dictation requests (for example, composing messages and notes, but not dictating in a search box) are processed on the device in many languages and no internet connection is required. When Voice Control is on, you can’t use keyboard dictation. See Control your Mac and apps using Voice Control. If you need to dictate text and control your Mac using your voice instead of a keyboard and trackpad, use Voice Control. A feedback window gauges your speaking volume and provides basic dictation controls. Turn it on in the Dictation pane of Keyboard preferences - your dictated utterances are sent to Apple to process your requests. With keyboard dictation, you can dictate text anywhere you can type it.
