How Many Languages Speech Recognition Supports

Kept, 4 figuresApple Dictation on Mac and iPhone

Apple's iOS and macOS feature availability pages list Dictation languages by language and region, with a separate on-device list; the rows count those entries (63 general, 48 on-device on each system), since Apple prints no total. Rechecked 2026-10-19.

Not keptSiri

Apple's 'Change Siri voice or language' support page and the iOS feature availability page give no count of languages Siri recognizes: the page says languages vary by region and device, and its Siri lists are per country and per Apple Intelligence feature, so no total is stated.

Kept, 1 figureWindows voice typing

Microsoft's Use voice typing article (Windows 11) lists 46 language and locale entries that support voice typing; the existing fact is reused and its quote was rechecked against the live page on 2026-10-19.

Kept, 1 figureWindows Voice Access

Microsoft's Voice access setup page lists 15 languages and dialects (six English, two Spanish, two French, two Chinese, German, Japanese, Italian). Its FAQ names four languages and its command list six, and a Windows deprecation note says five English locales while listing six; those three disagree with the setup page, so only the setup page is counted.

Not keptGboard voice typing

No official Google page gives a count of languages for Gboard voice typing. The six-language list on the advanced voice typing help page covers voice commands for writing tools, not dictation, so it is not counted. A 2017 Google blog figure of 119 language varieties is dated and covers speech recognition across Google products, not Gboard voice typing today.

Kept, 1 figureGoogle Cloud Speech-to-Text

Google's Speech-to-Text product page states it supports over 125 languages, a floor, so 125 is the row. The same page gives 85+ languages and variants in its Chirp 3 transcription description; that is a different counting basis and not a separate row here.

Kept, 1 figureMicrosoft Azure AI Speech

Product page says audio captioning works in more than 100 languages, recorded as a floor of 100. The Learn locale table lists 148 locales, but it states no total and cannot be quoted, so that count is not recorded.

Kept, 1 figureAmazon Transcribe

Product page says key features work across 100+ languages, recorded as a floor of 100. The supported languages table lists 113 language and locale entries, but it states no total and cannot be quoted, so that count is not recorded.

Kept, 1 figureOpenAI Whisper (open model)

Model paper says the training set covers 99 languages, one language token each. Reuses the published fact. The 98 in OpenAI's API guide describes the hosted whisper-1 model, which is a separate row.

Kept, 2 figuresMeta MMS (open model)

Two official language counts: 1162 on the mms-1b-all model card (2026-10 read) and 1,107 in the 2023 MMS paper; the card's usage example also says 1107, and the paper is kept as its own row.

Kept, 1 figureNVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 (open model)

NVIDIA's model card states 25 European languages for the model (2026-10 read); reused existing fact, and its Supported Languages list gives the same languages by code.

Kept, 1 figureNVIDIA Canary 1B v2 (open model)

NVIDIA's model card states speech transcription for 25 languages (2026-10 read); reused existing fact. Its 24-language English-to-X translation count is not a recognition row.

Kept, 1 figureDeepgram

Official language table gives a Nova-3 language list with no stated total; we count 60 languages from it, and the count is noted as ours.

Kept, 2 figuresAssemblyAI

Official supported-languages page states totals: Universal-2 supports 99 languages and Universal-3.5 Pro supports 18.

Kept, 1 figureElevenLabs Scribe

Official speech-to-text documentation states Scribe v2 supports 90+ languages, a floor and not an exact total.

Kept, 1 figureSpeechmatics

Speechmatics' own Languages page lists its transcription languages; the row counts 55 single languages from the table (not the auto option or the seven bilingual packs), since the page prints no total. Read 2026-10-19.

Kept, 1 figureDragon

Nuance's 15.6 release notes state that the Dragon Professional Individual 15.6.1 full build supports six languages (ENX, DEU, FRA, ITA, ESP, NLD). No official list for Dragon 16 was found; the Nuance feature matrix PDF has none. The Dragonfly page (a third-party source for version 15) is not used. Read 2026-10-19.

Kept, 1 figureAmazon Alexa

Amazon's Alexa Voice Service developer page lists 15 language and region entries for Alexa, covering nine languages; this is the device-maker list, not the consumer app's language menu, which could not be read. Read 2026-10-19.

Kept, 3 figuresGoogle Assistant

Google's own pages state language counts: the Assistant Service developer table (14 codes, 8 languages), Assistant on Google TV (14 languages), and voice typing (six languages, already in the library). The Nest language page gives no total and says both 2 and 3 languages, so it is not counted.

Kept, 2 figuresMistral Voxtral

Mistral's Voxtral Transcribe 2 announcement states 13 languages for Voxtral Mini Transcribe V2 and for Voxtral Realtime. The 2025 Voxtral paper and the Mistral docs pages give no language count in the text read, so no row for the 2025 models.
