Make a pronunciation guide for Dutch namesNetherlands or Flanders: what to settle first
Dutch in Rotterdam and Dutch in Ghent share a spelling but differ in sound, word choice, and how they address the listener. Check these five points before generating.
Hard g in the north, soft g in Belgium
pinpas / bankkaart
Netherlands speech uses a harsher g, Flemish standard speech a softer one, and the words differ too: pinpas or bankkaart, klantenservice or klantendienst. A Flemish bank ad with a Randstad sound reads as foreign, so write Flemish words and ask for Flemish Dutch.
U, je, and Flemish ge
u / je / ge
Most Dutch brands say je, while u stays polite and formal. Flemish everyday speech uses ge or gij, and Flemish public services tend to write u. The narrator reads the pronoun you choose, so pick one per audience.
Units before tens, with a trema
eenentwintig / tweeëntwintig
Dutch says one-and-twenty in one word, and puts a trema after twee and drie: tweeëntwintig. Keep the ë when you paste text, and keep capital IJ together in names like IJsselmeer.
Years in hundreds
1995
A year is read as nineteen hundred and ninety-five, negentienhonderdvijfennegentig, or shortened to negentien vijfennegentig. Write the year in words if you need the short form every time.
Euro first, and half means before
€ 12,99 / 14.30 uur
Dutch writes the symbol before the amount with a space and a comma for cents, read "twaalf euro negenennegentig". In speech 14.30 is "half drie", half towards the next hour, which trips up English-speaking writers.

A file upload demo, a bike shop sale, a rail works notice, and a Flemish billing menu in u. Three are read in Netherlands Dutch and one in Flemish, set only by the direction.

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 Flemish and Netherlands Dutch, forms of address, pronunciation, and exports.
Dutch text to speech
Can I turn Dutch text to voice for free?
You get 1,000 words on the free plan without giving card details. Downloads are watermarked at that level, which is fine for checking a Flemish accent or a tricky name; upgrading lifts the mark and adds words.
Is the Dutch voice list big enough for a whole course?
Narration Box gives you 1,500+ AI voices across 80+ languages, and Enbee V1 voices made for Dutch are part of that. The clips on this page use our 21 Enbee V2 narrators (12 female, 9 male), all of whom read Dutch and follow written direction.
Can it sound Flemish instead of Netherlands Dutch?
Write "Speak in Flemish Dutch from Belgium" in the direction and use Flemish words such as klantendienst. Listen to a short block first, then adjust the direction if you want the accent stronger.
Should I address listeners with u or je?
Most Dutch brands use je, while formal services and many Flemish public bodies use u. The narrator reads the form you write, so decide per audience and keep it consistent.
Is there a Dutch pronunciation generator for hard words?
Type the words into the playground, such as Scheveningen or achtentachtig, and ask for a slow, clear read. For character and place names in a book, our free pronunciation guide tool helps you list them before narration.
How are € 12,99 and 14.30 uur read?
The amount € 12,99 is read "twaalf euro negenennegentig", without the word cent. 14.30 uur can be "half drie" in speech or "veertien uur dertig" formally, so write it out if you need one specific form.
Will English words like deadline and checken sound right?
Yes. Write them as Dutch speakers do, including Dutch verb endings, and the narrator says them with an English sound inside the Dutch sentence. Flemish scripts often use fewer English words, so adjust for that audience.
Does a cloned voice work for Dutch narration?
It does, for a voice that is yours or one you have consent for. Record a short sample, assign the clone, and play the first Dutch blocks before a full course; whether an NL or Flemish sound comes through can vary.
Which file types can I export?
Your Dutch audio downloads as MP3, WAV, Opus, FLAC, or OGG, either the full piece or each block on its own. Commercial use falls under paid plans and the subscription terms.
