Afrikaans speech synthesis for production voice apps
Afrikaans is spoken by more than 7.2 million people across South Africa, Namibia, and beyond. If your voice agent, IVR, or narration product speaks to them, text-to-speech has to get the details right: phone numbers and codes read exactly as written, names pronounced the way Afrikaans speakers expect, and text that mixes Afrikaans with English spoken in one voice.
Soniox TTS generates Afrikaans speech over a real-time WebSocket, starting audio from the first few words, or with a single REST request, through one multilingual API built for 60+ languages. Every voice speaks Afrikaans, you can clone your own voice, mix languages in one sentence, and get character-level timestamps.
