Umlaut annually conducts research on behalf of the German Connect Magazine into the quality of networks in various countries, including the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain and Spain. Researchers move across a country on foot and in cars to take hundreds of thousands of data and speech samples. Thanks to the data registration of 'thousands of popular apps', hundreds of billions of samples have also been processed in the relevant categories. According to Umlaut, this form of anonymized data collection only took place when users gave permission for this in the terms of use.
