Open the original- What it measures
- The list is what Amazon gives for Alexa Built-in devices that use the Alexa Voice Service. The 15 entries are counted from the list. English with an Australian or Indian accent is one entry, so the English entries are US, UK, Canadian and this accent entry.
- What it does not show
- This is the developer list for device makers, not the consumer Alexa app's language menu, and it may differ from what a given device or country offers. The 15 entries are counted by us from the list, and Amazon does not state a total. It does not say when the list was last updated, and Alexa+ may support a different set.
