Responsible use

Goal and impact

Improve texts in clear & understandable language.

Better communication to citizens and businesses.

Considerations

Improving image and service quality.

Human intervention

The writer consciously chooses with which text, when and on which text section to use Sounding Language. The writer goes through the Klinkende Taal text markers and manually modifies the text taking into account the suggested suggestions. The writer decides whether and which suggestions to adopt.

Risk management

Klinkende Taal does not use generative AI. For the deployment of this particular tool, the Osse principles for using generative AI apply and should be followed.

Elaboration on impact assessments

DPIA is not necessary. There is no high privacy risk. None of the criteria listed by European privacy regulators apply.

Operations

Data

Texts and standards of Dutch language levels

Technical design

The Sounding Language application is a plug-in in Word. It only checks the written text for grammar and writing style at the explicit request of the author in order to convert it to B1 level. It checks on the basis of 6 basic modules: Expensive words, technical terms, passive sentences, long sentences, complex sentences and long paragraphs.
