Hi,

Considering that dictation has been around in the MacOS for as long as it has, I can't see that it's as glitchy as stated.  A couple things to consider is the speed of your Internet connection, whether Enhanced Dictation is enabled or not, the amount of memory in your Mac, whether you have a spinner HD or an SSD, how many apps you have running concurrently, and how often you use it.  There could be some other factors as well.  I suggest that you enable Enhanced Dictation for sure.  Refer to this Apple Support article for other information.

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/ht202584

We do use it in our schools with Enhanced Dictation enabled with good success.

Later...

I don’t think it’s even so much that, as the fact it’s just glitchy, period.  Perfect example, on my end, I can press the fn key to activate it, and it will chime to activate, then immediately deactivate before I’ve had a chance to do anything with it.  Then on those rare instances where I can get it to work, I’ll dictate to it, and it doesn’t take, so I have no idea what’s wrong with it.

I am wondering if the program requires you to train it in some way?
That was certainly the case with other such programs I have encountered.

Good day,
I notice that dictation works when it wants. It’s either hit or miss. So it’s not just you.
