I was able to reproduce functioning voice dictation with the 29.4 build from https://emacsformacosx.com/builds

Installing from https://emacsformacosx.com/emacs-builds/Emacs-29.4-universal.dmg

Got it.  I see it does work for me.  (I stopped using that distro last year because it's slow and buggy in other ways.). That's perfect as I can try to analyze it now.  I'm curious, perhaps morbidly so.

Thank you for that.  I also verified that his 30.1 build does not take dictation, should it be a difference in compilation by the distro producers.

I'll dig this afternoon for a bit.

David's build script hasn't changed in months so it ain't that.  Looking deeper now.

This looks like a build-time toolchain issue and it will take some further investigation.

Charles, would you submit an issue to David Caldwell here https://github.com/caldwell/build-emacs/issues and let him know dictation works on his 29 but not his 30?  He might be quicker at identifying the issue since he has multiple toolchains available.
