Availability of Dutch for the Watson TTS service on Bluemix


I am building an application where there is a need for have Text To Speech. The primary users will be Dutch, in the beginning. So I am looking for TTS with Dutch support. Google Translate offer Dutch as an alternative, but I would like to use the TTS Watson service on Bluemix.


Solution

  • According to the Text-to-Speech documentation, the service supports plain text in the following languages:

    • English
    • French
    • German
    • Italian
    • Japanese
    • Spanish
    • Brazilian Portuguese

    Unfortunately, Dutch is not a supported language for input. We are always looking for ways to improve out services so feel free to submit a IBM Bluemix Idea for future consideration by Bluemix/Watson Project Management.
