+** Text dictation doesn't work on macOS
+
+The indication is that the macOS keyboard shortcut for dictation is ignored.
+
+One reason for this is that the Emacs permissions for using the
+microphone were rejected in the past.  To reset the permissions, run
+this command:
+
+  tccutil reset Microphone org.gnu.Emacs
+
+Another reason may be an unsupported macOS version. For example: macOS 12.
