Umlauts ä, ö, ü change vowel sounds (für, schön, über). Eszett ß follows vowel length rules (Straße, groß). Swiss German often uses ss instead of ß — the checker respects dictionary entries.
After long vowels and diphthongs, German uses ß (heiß, groß). After short vowels, ss is standard (muss, Kasse). Capital ẞ exists since 2017 but SS remains common in all-caps.
Germany uses QWERTZ — Y and Z are swapped vs QWERTY. Dedicated keys for ä, ö, ü, ß sit on the home and number rows. Austria uses the same layout.
Quick Compose: a= ä, o= ö, u= ü, s= ß (uppercase variants too). TypeIt: " + a/o/u for umlauts; space after dead key for a literal quote. Use the accent strip for one-click insertion.
