Open the original- What it measures
- The home page describes Dictately, a premium voice-to-text dictation app for macOS. The same count appears in the user guide under Languages. The page gives 99+ as a floor, not an exact count.
- What it does not show
- The page does not list the languages or say which of them work on the on-device path. That path only covers English on Apple Silicon Macs, according to Dictately's privacy policy, so most of the 99+ languages are transcribed in the cloud.
