Dictation to Pages no longer working

Double tapping "fn" button (or command-D) no longer activates dictation to Pages. I've tried several things. Can't figure it out. Please help.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.6

Hello chatterton123for5,


We would like to see how we can help you with Dictation on your Mac. Do you have the Dictation keyboard shortcut set up correctly? Follow the steps in this link and get back to us if the issue persists: Dictate messages and documents on Mac


"Set the Dictation keyboard shortcut

You can choose a specific dictation keyboard shortcut or create one of your own.

Tip: If the Microphone key is available in the row of function keys, you can press it to start Dictation or use the keyboard shortcut.

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Keyboard  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
  2. Go to Dictation on the right, click the pop-up menu next to Shortcut, then choose a shortcut to start Dictation.
  3. To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, then press the keys you want to use. For example, you could press Option-Z.

Note: When you choose a Dictation keyboard shortcut, depending on your Mac model, the “Press fn key to” or “Press the Globe key to” option in Keyboard settings may change automatically. For example, if you choose Press Fn (Function) Key Twice as the Dictation Shortcut option, the Keyboard settings option changes to Start Dictation (Press Fn Twice) automatically.

For more help with Keyboard options, click the Help button  in Keyboard settings."


Cheers!
