You can activate Read Aloud (or Text to Speech) on your Mac so that it reads documents (word, pdf, etc.) or websites when you select certain keys. We could’ve hand-written the letter by now. The following instructions are for MacOS Sierra (10.12.16). On the other hand, her iPad Mini’s battery was about done half way through her letter on Notes, so I gave her my iPad Pro to finish it, and darned if I can get her letter to show up on the Pro’s Notes, even though both devices use the same “Cloud”. But thank goodness I’m half-way (if that) knowledgeable about iPads, or the MacBook would be much harder to figure out. Of course iPads are a bit different from Big Sur. We’ve been Windows people since 1995, so except for iPads since 2011, we’re new to Apple’s systems. The wife opted to just write her letter using Notes on our iPads. Not sure why the dictation stops on its own, unless there’s a built-in delay where if we don’t say something for some seconds it shuts itself off. It underlines sentences as we go, then on its own the microphone “dings” and disappears.
But for some reason “new line” doesn’t work, and neither does “show commands”. My wife wanted to write a letter to a relative, so I watched a couple videos (yours is the best!), and we tried it. However, an easy workaround appears to be in place as voice dictation on future MacBook Pro models could be accessible by simply pressing both command buttons simultaneously which are located. I dunno what’s askew with our year-old MacBook Pro Big Sur.
