Think so, since while I am running it on windows7 64 bit, am sure it uses
google's voice recognition engine, online - no way 300Kb could include a
local implementation of a voice recognition engine, and since they
specifically refer to google engine, am pretty sure they just, in background

record sound clip, and submit it to online engine, and, just tried it out
inside my one windows XP virtual machine that I can run inside this windows7

machine, using same version of NVDA 2013.3, with that add-in installed, and

it got voice recognition right there as well, without any issues.

Not sure if someone else has brought this up before, but, it impressed
me
quite a bit right now.

On this page, you'll find the information, and download link for the
google
speech recognition add-in for NVDA:
http://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/googleSpeechRecognition.en.html

It's only like 300Kb big, and think what it does is literally submit
your
recorded voice clip to something like google's voice recognition engine,
online, but, it offers a list of 32 languages, and lets you switch
between
them easily, and ue the voice recognition in any editable text field,
and,
for example, the two following bits of text are results:

ek prat nou afrikans

and now i'm speaking english

In other words, it got both of those exactly right, within like 5
seconds,
and only thing I did find is that I do need to talk a little bit
carefully/clearly to make sure it recognises what I am saying, but, for
thos
two little bits of text used Afrikaans - obviously - and english GB, and

in
under 5 seconds each, it came back with the results above that literally
just got pasted into this email's contents.

And, was also very easy to use - NVDA key + Y to toggle between
languages
selected from list, NVDA key + shift + G to start recording, and same to
stop, and then when it told me result, NVDA key + G, and, voila! LOL!

Stay well
