Prepare Dutch text for the intended region
The voice reads the version you provide; it does not rewrite Netherlands Dutch for a Belgian audience or the other way around. Use the approved regional copy, then test the words that are hardest to predict from spelling alone.
Keep compound words intact
Dutch compounds are normally written as one word. Do not insert spaces only to influence the audio; preview the full compound and use a pronunciation replacement if needed.
Write for the listener
Expand initials, dates, decimal values, units, and web addresses when their compact written form could be spoken more than one way.

Check regional wording and compound words
A Dutch script can be correctly spelled and still sound wrong for the intended audience. Test the regional voice, long words, and mixed-language terms together.
Netherlands or Belgium
Preview the script with a Netherlands Dutch and a Belgian Dutch voice when regional familiarity matters.
Long compound words
Test product terms, job titles, and long compounds in context. Add a pronunciation replacement if the word boundaries are not clear.
Initials, addresses, and numbers
Listen to abbreviations, postcodes, street names, dates, decimals, and telephone numbers before generating the final read.
English names in Dutch copy
Place brands and borrowed English terms inside the full Dutch sentence. The surrounding words often make a better test than the name alone.
