Murmel,

Dutch speech recognition that actually understands Dutch.

Generic speech models make errors on Dutch audio and process your data on servers outside the EU. Murmel is trained specifically on thousands of hours of Dutch, fully hosted in the Netherlands, and GDPR-compliant by design.

Why generic speech models fall short on Dutch

Most speech models are trained primarily on English. On Dutch audio they fall short — and they process your data on servers outside the EU.

With generic speech models

  • Higher error rates on Dutch, especially with accents and jargon
  • Audio and text data sent to servers outside the EU
  • Complex GDPR compliance, unclear DPAs
  • Limited control over data retention

With Murmel

  • 1.6% CER on Dutch audio — better than Azure, Mistral and open-source
  • All processing on Dutch servers, never outside the EU
  • GDPR-compliant by design, standard DPA included
  • In-transit or do-not-save options — you control retention
