iOS Feature Availability, Apple, 2026, Dictation section of the feature availability table, and the separate On-Device and Modeless Dictation section that follows it.
Open the original- What it measures
- The page is a table of Apple features by language and region. Its Dictation heading has one long list. A second list, headed On-Device and Modeless Dictation, has 48 entries, and Hindi is not among them when the page was read on 2026-10-17.
- What it does not show
- The page does not say what the general list requires. It does not say whether Hindi dictation runs on the iPhone or needs a connection. The quote joins two passages from the same list, and the absence of Hindi from the on-device list was read by hand from the page.
