Have done extensive research on voice/text on Win 10 and 11 using my Dell laptop; but cannot get it to work. It works in Google search and on youtube but not on a forum I go to. The mic icon doesn't show up.

Sadly, it’s probably the case where it is up to the web developers if they want that functionality

The Google Voice Search API is exclusive to a small handful of Google sites on various platforms.
If you'd like to use Voice dictation on PC elsewhere, you can use Windows' built-in engine, WinKey+H.
It actually works quite accurately!

For a decent Voice to Text application I'd suggest to ask any of the organisations that help visually impaired people on what they use both as hardware and software, You probably won't need the "Reverse" function which converts text to voice so that should reduce the cost considerably as that's another order of magnitude in difficulty.
