Voice Typing in Dutch
Dutch sits between English and German but has its own distinct pronunciation rules, compound word formation, and the notoriously tricky "de/het" article system. Zavi AI handles Dutch compound words, correct article assignment, and the guttural sounds that other voice tools often misinterpret.

Dutch typing: default keyboard vs Zavi
| Workflow | Default keyboard | With Zavi |
|---|---|---|
| Typing effort | Manual Dutch typing means wrestling with latin alphabet with digraphs (ij, oe, ui, ei) and diacritical marks and slowing down for every correction. | Speak naturally in Dutch and let Zavi handle the script, spacing, punctuation, and cleanup. |
| Accuracy | Default keyboards often miss regional accents, code-switching, or specialized wording. | Zavi is tuned for Dutch use cases, regional pronunciation, and context-driven output. |
| Cross-language work | Translation usually means rewriting or copying content into a separate tool. | Keep the output in Dutch or translate it instantly into English and other supported languages. |
