It's available in Spanish, on Android, (which is the only duolingo permutation I have experience with) and seems to use google's speech recognition backend.

> wait, are you dictating into Duolingo?

Am I dictating insomuch as writing speaking free-form words and it writes them down? No.

Duolingo will present a word and ask me to verbalize them into the microphone.

Duolingo will present a phrase or sentence and ask me to verbalize them into the microphone.

I know that Duolingo will do this also for learning German.
