Progs to "type" while dictating have already been out for many
years. You just have to buy them.

Siri, Google and Alexa can already do this... they just need to be
interfaced with the editor and reader somehow...

Apparently, the "free" Cortana offering in Win10 can do that too:

[1] Microsoft's Dictate uses Cortana's speech recognition to enable dictation in Office. ... Dictate, meanwhile, only works in Office. However, it offers support for a number of commands, like “new line,” “stop dictation,” and “enter,” as well as other punctuation marks and actions. Jun 20, 2017

[2] Similar to how you can use voice commands for Kopy to initiate a voice session, you can use Cortana together with OneNote to dictate hands-free. ... .Jun 16, 2014

[3] Cortana has a new feature: Reciting your email Microsoft's Cortana digital assistant can now search, read back, and respond to email. ... Microsoft has given Cortana the ability to read emails aloud and take dictation for responses, making it the second digital assistant to integrate those features by default. Mar 9, 2018

[4] Use dictation to talk instead of type on your PC. Use dictation to convert spoken words into text anywhere on your PC with Windows 10. To start dictating, select a text field and press the Windows logo key + H to open the dictation toolbar. Then say whatever's on your mind. Nov 7, 2018

Maybe anyone who has access to the various tools above can try things out and report back.
