I tired all of them. I speak and write both Cantonese and Mandarin. The 3 Chinese dialects in your apps are all Mandarin.

Let me explain in detail.

Chinese (China)
Voice recognition : Mandarin
Characters(subtitle): Simplified Chinese Character

Chinese (Taiwan)
Voice recognition : Mandarin
Characters(subtitle): Traditional Chinese Character

Chinese (Hong Kong)
Voice recognition: Cantonese
Characters(subtitle): Traditional Chinese Character

In your app, The Chinese (China) and Chinese (Taiwan) both voice recognition and character are correct. You do not need to change anything.

I guess the one “Chinese” in your system should be Chinese (Hong Kong), the correct voice recognition and character should be Cantonese and Traditional Chinese character respectively.

I can help you to confirm the correct dialect if make the change. As I need Cantonese dialect for my video production.

Thanks

Thank you Kaman! That was very helpful!

Please contact our support via website chat, so that they know your info. Just tell me them Dima asked you to do it.

I will contact you if/when we find a provider of voice recognition for Cantonese (our current ones do not support it)

I sent it to your support team already. I guess there are plenty of suppliers have Cantonese voice recognition
