Open the original- What it measures
- Google's count covered its speech recognition across products, including the Gboard keyboard on Android. A language variety can be a language in a particular region, so the number is not a count of separate languages.
- What it does not show
- Dated 2017. It is a Google count of speech recognition varieties, not a list of languages available for voice typing on a particular phone today.
