Open the original- What it measures
- The table is for developers who call the Azure Speech service from their own software. The line quoted here is the Urdu entry for India.
- What it does not show
- A locale in the Azure table is not a Windows feature. Windows voice typing's own list has no Urdu, so this fact does not mean you can dictate in Urdu in Windows.
