Accessibility voice control lags ~5 seconds with each command post Sonoma update

Updated to Sonoma 14.3.1. Following that, the accessibility voice control lags ~5 seconds with each command – regardless of application. No change with multiple restarts. Significantly impairs use. Anyone else with this problem and/or solutions?

Apple Voice control works for a while then just stops transcribing speech On my new M2 Air I can use Apple Voice Control for a while and then it just stops transcribing speech, although it still understands "start listening" and "stop listening" as evidenced by the icon showing on and off. If I turn off Apple Voice Control I can use dictation with the mic hotkey but can't use the extra features of Apple Voice Control like editing and other commands (plus the transcription isn't as good ). A complete restart restores the service but this is extremely impractical because it stops so frequently (within 15-45 minutes). Activity Monitor doesn't show anything unusual (afaik). My Sonoma has the latest updates. I would love it if anyone has any suggestions for how to fix. Thanks! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Voiceover stopped working with Sequoia Update When I try to use Voiceover in Sequoia is states, "System settings are not responding". Has anyone ran into this issue? Engineering is suppose to be working on it, but I have a special needs son that uses Voiceover often.

Voice control crashess Voice control keeps switching off while I'm dictating. Also, the older version used to stay ON dictation mode while I edited something. Now it switches off immediately if I touch the keyboard, which drives me nuts. Can I keep it on while editing?

Same. It is almost unuseable now.

100% agree. This is a major problem as it drastically reduces the ability to use the computer for those who need the feature.
