Welkom by my podsending.
Afrikaans has about 7-10 million speakers (native + second-language). A clear, native-sounding voice is the difference between audio that feels local and audio that sounds dubbed.
Afrikaans text to speech in three steps.
- 01
Type or paste your Afrikaans text
Write in Afrikaans directly, or write in English and let Polyvox translate it into Afrikaans before it speaks. Latin alphabet, descended from 17th-century Dutch with simplified spelling.
- 02
Choose a voice
Record thirty seconds of your own voice. Your clone reads the Afrikaans script with native pronunciation while still sounding like you.
- 03
Generate and share
Polyvox renders the speech in seconds. Share it with a link, or download it as an MP3 on a paid plan.
Two ways to voice Afrikaans text.
A ready-made voice
Multilingual voice actors cover dozens of other languages. For Afrikaans, your own cloned voice does the reading.

Afrikaans text to speech questions
Is Afrikaans text to speech free?
You can sign up and try Polyvox free, but Afrikaans is one of the languages on the Global plan. Global includes clips of up to 5,000 characters and MP3 downloads.
How many Afrikaans voices are there?
Afrikaans is read by your own cloned voice rather than a stock voice. Record about thirty seconds in any language and Polyvox speaks Afrikaans in that voice.
Do I have to type in Afrikaans?
No. You can type in Afrikaans or write the script in English and let Polyvox translate it first, so you don't need a Afrikaans keyboard to get Afrikaans speech.
How natural does the Afrikaans pronunciation sound?
Afrikaans mixes guttural 'g' sounds with Dutch-derived diphthongs. Polyvox reproduces both distinctly. Afrikaans evolved from Dutch settler speech and simplified verb conjugation more than almost any other Germanic language, giving it a clean, rhythmic cadence.
Can I download the Afrikaans audio?
On paid plans, every clip downloads as an MP3 you can drop into a video editor, course, or ad. On the free plan you can play and share clips by link.
What's the difference between text to speech and voice cloning?
Text to speech turns written Afrikaans into audio. With Polyvox the voice reading it can be a ready-made actor or a clone of your own voice, so the same tool covers both.
