What it measures
Windows Speech Recognition is Microsoft's built-in speech engine, a separate product from Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The page notes that Microsoft no longer documents this list, and it advises checking the speech models in the Windows language settings.
What it does not show
The list is from 2016 and is quoted second-hand by a third-party page. It shows what the built-in engine offered then, not what Windows voice typing supports today.
