10etan, feedbacka: suffixes on borrowed words
In mixed speech, Basque grammar keeps working on borrowed words: the client gets -arekin, the feedback gets the article -a. Write it as people say it and the narrator follows.

Laurogeita bost, hamabi euro, ehuneko hogei
Write numbers in digits and the narrator turns them into Basque words, with twenty-based tens and the % sign read first.
| You write | The narrator says | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 12,50 € | hamabi euro eta berrogeita hamar zentimo | Euro stays singular; fifty is forty plus ten |
| 85 | laurogeita bost | Four 20s plus 5 |
| % 20 | ehuneko hogei | Percent sign before the number |
| 17:30 | arratsaldeko bostak eta erdiak | Arratsaldeko marks afternoon |
How Basque differs from the languages around it
Basque is not related to Spanish or French, and its sounds and number system catch out voices built on them. Keep these five points in mind when you write the script.
Six sibilants, kept apart
hotz (cold) / hots (sound)
Standard Basque separates z, s, and x and the affricates tz, ts, and tx. Many speakers merge some of them in casual speech, but narration usually keeps them distinct, and a single letter can change the word.
Tens counted in twenties
berrogei / hirurogei / laurogeita bost
Forty is two twenties, sixty three twenties, and eighty four twenties; fifty is berrogeita hamar, forty plus ten. Hundreds are decimal again. Write digits and the narrator builds these forms for you.
Euro stays singular
hamabi euro
A noun after a numeral stays singular, so twelve euros is hamabi euro. If you spell amounts out yourself, keep the noun singular; with digits and the € sign the narrator does it.
The % sign goes first
% 20ko deskontua
Basque puts the percent sign before the number, with a space, and attaches any suffix to the number. It is read ehuneko hogeiko. Use a non-breaking space so "% 20ko" never splits across lines.
Suffixes on digits and loanwords
10etan / 2026an / feedbacka
Case endings attach to numbers and English words just as they do to Basque nouns. Write them joined, as in 10etan, and the narrator reads number and ending as one word.

Teacher, town hall, publisher: where each begins
A language teacher, a public office, and a publisher need different things. Here is where each one should begin.
Studio: greeting, numbers, sign-off
Greeting, numbers, and sign-off live in separate blocks, each with a narrator and direction you can drag around. Move a water cut to Thursday and you regenerate that notice only.

A Basque novel arrives as EPUB, PDF, or DOCX and is split into chapters you approve. When a proofreader fixes a suffix, only that paragraph goes back through.
Chapter files for a novel in euskaraClone the teacher, keep the series
A teacher who records a short sample of their own voice, or has a colleague’s consent, gets a clone that keeps a whole language-school series in one familiar voice.

Encouraging, then [warmly]
Ask for a slow, encouraging teacher in the block direction, and set [warmly] right before Kaixo or any euskara phrase that needs extra kindness.

Customer testimonials
See why creators, publishers, and teams rely on Narration Box for natural-sounding voice content.
“Quality of voices and ease of use made Narration Box the perfect choice for my fiction podcast The Program. It's the only voice synthesis service that knew the difference between 'live frugally' and 'live broadcast' and that could pronounce Mar-a-Lago.”
Ivan
Creator, The program audio series
“We've been using Narration Box for a while now, and are grateful to the team behind it! It allows us to create audio versions of our books and articles in many languages, within seconds. The generated audio sounds very natural and is almost indistinguishable from a real narrator. What an amazing service for creators, and it keeps evolving! I highly recommend it.”
Reto Stuber
CEO, Stuber Media
“The user-interface is great. Nice and simple without too many bells and whistles. The array of voices are also good, though some are definitely better than others. With that said, you can adjust the speaking pace for each voice, which does improve the flow, making voices seem less artificial. Also, the free plan is generous.”
Tom W.
Filmmaker
Review on G2
“Narration Box has allowed me to get away from having to set up my own recording studio. Previously, I had an idea of hiring a human narrator but there was so much hassle as well as costs. The voice choices are pretty good, especially the enhanced voices. I love the options available to further personalize the AI narrator's speech within the text. Narration Box saved me so much time for several small projects. I actually made audio clips whilst writing another book.”

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Answers on twenties, percentages, suffixes, standard Basque, and getting started.
Basque text to speech
What do 1,000 free words of Basque text to speech get me?
1,000 words, with no credit card at signup. That is enough to hear how the twenties and the % 20 forms sound in your own script. Free downloads have a watermark until you upgrade.
Dedicated Basque voices or multilingual narrators?
You get both. Narration Box carries 1,500+ AI voices across 80+ languages, Enbee V1 voices made for Basque included, and its 21 Enbee V2 narrators (12 female, 9 male) switch to euskara on request. Opal, Milton, Ivy, and Russell above are V2.
Are numbers like 85 read in twenties?
Yes. Write 85 and the narrator says laurogeita bost, four twenties and five. Hundreds and thousands follow the decimal pattern, so check long figures in a short preview.
Is it % 20 or 20 % in a Basque script?
Put the sign first with a space, as in % 20, and attach any suffix to the number: % 20ko deskontua. That follows Basque writing guidance and gets read as ehuneko hogeiko.
Will suffixes on numbers and English words be read correctly?
Write them joined, such as 10etan or feedbacka, and the narrator reads each as one word. Avoid a line break or space between the number and its ending.
Does it read standard Basque or a regional variety?
Scripts in standard Basque (Batua) are the usual choice for narration. Speech varies by area, and you can describe the sound you want in the direction; listen to a short block first.
Will an audiobook store take a Basque title made here?
The Audiobook Creator gives you chapter files ready for review. Each store has its own technical and content rules, so check them; acceptance is the store’s call and is never guaranteed.
Could lessons use my cloned voice reading euskara?
Yes, provided the voice is the teacher’s own or they gave permission. One short recording makes the clone; assign it to lesson blocks and check the sibilants in the first few lines, because clones differ.
Which files suit a town hall website or a paid course?
MP3 is easiest for a website; WAV, Opus, FLAC, and OGG are there too, as a full track or one file per block. Selling a course or publishing official audio needs a paid plan, under its subscription terms.
