Responsible use

Goal and impact

Improve texts so that they are clear and understandable. This helps you communicate better with people and businesses.

Considerations

Improve the quality and readability of texts.

Human intervention

The writer chooses when and for which parts of the text to use Sounding Language. He looks at the Klinkende Taal text markers and changes the text manually according to the suggestions. The writer decides whether to adopt suggestions and which ones.

Risk management

Sounding language does not use generative AI.

Elaboration on impact assessments

A DPIA is not necessary because there is no high risk to privacy. The criteria listed by European privacy regulators do not apply.

Operations

Data

Align with Dutch language level standards.

Technical design

The Sounding Language application is a plug-in for Word. At the writer's request, this plug-in checks the text for grammar and writing style. The goal is to bring the text to B1 level. The check is done with 6 basic modules: difficult words, technical terms, passive sentences, long sentences, complex sentences and long paragraphs.
