Open the original- What it measures
- The class sits in Unity's Windows.Speech namespace, so it depends on Windows and on a privacy setting that the user controls.
- What it does not show
- The page does not say whether the Windows 10 limit still holds on Windows 11, and it describes the Unity version the page is served for. Check the current page before you rely on the limit.
