For students
Get the first draft out of your head.Then make it good.
Most blank pages are a typing problem, not a thinking problem.
You can explain the argument to a friend in two minutes. Writing it down takes an evening. Dictation closes that gap: say the draft, then do the part that actually earns the grade, which is editing it.

The real friction
“Isn't dictating my essay a kind of cheating?”
Dictation writes down what you said. The ideas, the argument and the words are yours; it is the same as typing, only faster. Nothing is generated for you.
The course names, authors and terms from your reading come out spelled right, because it learns them from what you have already written.
Check your course's rules on assistive tools if you are unsure. Speaking your own words is a different thing from having software write them.
