Enhanced Dictation with Automator

While Siri hasn’t yet made its way to the Mac, it’s still possible to replicate some of the functionality provided by Apple’s digital personal assistant with tools available in OS X. This tutorial will show you how to recreate some of Siri’s magic using custom Dictation Commands, available within Automator on OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

This needs a bit of tweaking for High Sierra, I can't get it working with this instruction set.
Any adjustments of clarifications for High Sierra would be awesome.

Great Tutorial! Just a question. When dictation is enabled the mac automatically mutes the sound.. Is there any way to fix this?
