macOS dictation used to work with Emacs < 30.1

*** Description
In prior releases of Emacs for macOS, the native macOS dictation feature was available. The latest 30.1 release however does not provide this feature.

*** Environment
GNU Emacs 30.1 (build 2, aarch64-apple-darwin24.3.0, NS appkit-2575.40 Version 15.3.1 (Build 24D70)) of 2025-02-27

The discussion with a few users who have the same experience can be seen here https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1j4639s/osx_dictation_fails_with_emacs_301/

I have a feeling they were using the Mitsuharu Yamamoto "emacs-mac" implementation and not GNU Emacs (looks like JD Smith is rejuvenating emacs-mac with a 30.1 merge).  I'm still awaiting more precise information on which builds were being used and I pinged them again, today.
