Voice Typing in Indonesian

Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) uses the Latin alphabet with no tones or complex script — making it one of the more accessible languages. However, its rich affixation system (prefixes, suffixes, and circumfixes) and the distinction between formal Indonesian and colloquial Jakarta Indonesian (Bahasa gaul) create unique voice typing challenges that Zavi AI handles effortlessly.
