Dutch TTS questions

Does Audexum correctly pronounce Dutch ij, ui, and eu?

Yes. Dutch diphthongs ij/ei, ui, and eu are distinct phonemes that don't exist in German or English. The model handles all three correctly: ij as /ɛɪ/, ui as /œy/, and eu as /øː/.

Is Dutch available on the free tier?

Yes. Dutch is on the free plan (2,000 credits + 250 a day), no credit card required.

Can I use Dutch TTS for an accessibility layer on a Dutch e-commerce site?

Yes. WCAG 2.2 Level AA requires accessible audio alternatives for text content. Audexum's REST API lets you generate Dutch audio on demand, then serve it from your CDN or generate per-request.

How does Audexum compare to Google TTS for Dutch?

Google Cloud TTS charges $16/1M chars. Audexum is €24.17/1M on the Pro plan (cheaper than Google), with a free monthly quota and bundled dictation. For Dutch e-commerce at scale, the cost difference adds up quickly.

Audexum speaks 32 languages.

Switch language with one parameter. Same endpoint, same price.
