I've tried with the 0002 patch, and it doesn't seem to work for me. I'm
running macOS 15.5 on arm64. Dictation works with other applications. In
emacs -Q GUI, pressing the dictation key produces no reaction; I mean no
small blue indicator with the microphone symbol appears.

Ah, did you enable ns while configuring? Someone else just managed to apply and confirm https://social.vivaldi.net/@veer66/114891733359274099

Yes, I did. That's why I wrote emacs -Q GUI above :-).

It’s possible to explicitly trigger microphone permission request by running these from *eshell*:

1. ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i “” ;; to find microphone id

2. ffmpeg -f avfoundation -i ":0" -t 10 audiocapture.mp3 ;; using :id from 1.

Or maybe checking under System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone and verifying Emacs is listed there?

Just thinking out loud here to troubleshoot things. Anything else that comes to mind we can try?

I’ll try to clear all permissions here and see if I can reproduce the issue.
