- What it is
- Google's August 2017 post by its speech and keyboard team announcing voice typing in 30 new languages and locales, and a count of the language varieties its speech recognition supports in Gboard on Android, Voice Search and more.
- How much weight it carries
- Primary statement from Google's speech team, dated 2017. It describes the company's language coverage at that time, which has changed since, so it is a dated figure and not the current list.
Facts taken from this source
- In August 2017, Google said its speech recognition supported 119 language varieties in Gboard on Android, Voice Search and more.
