What it measures: Each Voice Access language needs its own downloaded speech files because recognition runs on the PC. We counted the entries in Microsoft's setup page on the access date.
What it does not show: Microsoft's own Voice Access FAQ still gives a shorter list (English, Spanish, French and German), so the pages disagree; the setup page is the more recent.
