Use case

Dutch e-commerce and digital media

The Netherlands' massive e-commerce sector (Bol.com, Coolblue, Picnic) and digital media landscape need affordable Dutch TTS for product notifications, accessibility, and content automation.

Audexum integrates as a single REST endpoint — no SDK required. Send your Dutch text, receive WAV audio. The free tier (10K chars/month) covers prototyping; paid plans start at €4/month for 100K characters.

FAQ
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 10,000 char/month free plan — 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 — 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 €8/1M PAYG — half the price — with a free monthly quota and bundled dictation. For Dutch e-commerce at scale, the cost difference adds up quickly.

Other languages

Audexum supports 33 languages.
