I would like to setup a way for users of my app to press a button to use voice input. Then I would like to have that voice input converted into text.

You’d want to use a third-party service to handle the dictation, and you would to route the request to that service through a back-end so as not to tackle it with the server.
Here’s a doc from assemblyAI on how to connect these bits. They use some code, but it tells the story of how it fits together that you could adapt to the weweb context: How To Convert Voice To Text Using JavaScript
Connecting with these kinds of advanced systems is often where the rubber meets the road in making your app special - and often where things get difficult because its no longer as off-the-shelf!
