Dictate a note with Siri on your Mac
Quick answer
"Take a note" on your Mac and Siri opens Notes and captures what you say next. Add the content in one breath — "take a note: pick up dry cleaning Friday" — and Siri saves it. Ask "show me my notes" to find it again. Dictation keeps going until you pause.

If Siri doesn't get it
If Siri doesn't capture your words, check the microphone input in System Settings > Sound and that Notes has permission under Privacy & Security.
