Dictation for Gmail is not available, but there’s hope
Dictation for Gmail would offer a practical solution to speed up communication and achieve inbox zero faster. Shockingly, Google does not offer a native speech-to-text solution for Gmail.
This is quite unexpected, considering dictation is available in other Google products like Google Docs. Even Google Gemini mistakenly assumed Gmail dictation was available:

It’s hard to believe… Google gives us the power of speech-to-text in Google Docs but leaves us hanging when it comes to Gmail.
Luckily, the exact solution you’re looking for is conveniently located in the top right corner of this page.
