Jakie jest różnica pomiędzy: z with a dot and z with a line? z makes the /zh/ sound but are both these letters making the same /zh/ sound yet z with no accent mark makes a softer z sound??? Thanks for the help with the keyboard and keep sending the czats proszę.

Ania Marysia, thank you for your question. This is a very interesting point.

As you write ź or z with a dash, it sounds softer and occurs in words, for example: źrebak (foal), źrenica oka (pupil of the eye), źródło (source). Ż sounds harder. Ż is used in words, for example: żaba (frog), żyrafa (giraffe), życie (life)

About keyboard... When you set the keyboard version "Polski - pro" then you will be able to type ź and ż on it. In what way? ź - alt + "x", ż - alt + "ż"

I hope my answer has helped you 😀
