You can connect an Android phone as a microphone to a Windows PC.
Offered "as is" -- do not download or buy any software without careful research:
corrected link: https://www.howtogeek.com/how-to-use-your-android-device-as-a-mic-on-windows/
And you can use Phone Link to link your phone to your PC for other tasks.
But I doubt it will type for you.....
Would it not be simpler to use dictation {AKA "voice typing") on your PC?
Yes, you would need a microphone, if you don't have one (either USB or built-in to your monitor).
But it would be simpler than adding an Android phone into the equation.
Just my tuppence and worth less

I do use voice typing on Windows 11 with just earbuds + built-in mic. This is quite adequate, understanding I still have to fix the transcription errors. It doesn't seem to be as accurate as the voice transcription on Android which is surprising.
The alternative to using Windows built-in (works everywhere) voice transcription is Google's doc voice transcription (via Chrome, probably Edge too). Or the best ones are the AI-powered transcriptions, like through Gemini or Bing.
