What it measures
A numbered feature on the maker's home page. Its FAQ gives the same figure: '57 languages for transcription via OpenAI gpt-4o-transcribe.'
What it does not show
The 57 languages are transcribed by OpenAI's cloud model, not on the Mac. The Free tier's offline path uses Apple Speech, which the page says supports the languages the Mac is set to use, and the page's comparison table gives 8 for it. The 8 interface languages and 10 UI languages on the page are app text, not speech recognition.

Note
The 57 languages are transcribed by OpenAI's model in the cloud. On device is Some languages because the Free tier's offline Apple Speech path covers only the languages the Mac is set to use (privacy policy and FAQ), a smaller set the page does not count as 57.
