Open the original- What it measures
- The answer sits under the question "Which languages does Hallig recognize?". The page says the count depends on the recognition the user picks, and it names three recognitions. The built-in one is Apple Speech, listed in the page's recognition table as built in.
- What it does not show
- The page says "around", so the figure is approximate. It is Hallig's own count for the Apple engine, not a figure from Apple's documentation. The page does not say whether every one of the 22 languages works without internet.
