Specs
Specs for a Dutch delivery
- Script length
- Dutch is close to English in length, but compound words and phrasal verbs change where the stress falls, so timing is adapted line by line.
- Register
- Je or u is a brand choice; je is now common in advertising, while u remains the default for formal institutions.
- Delivery
- WAV or MP3, named to your convention.
- Native review before delivery
- A native Dutch speaker checks the script and the takes.

Questions
Dutch, answered.
Can the same read serve the Netherlands and Flanders?
Usually only for neutral corporate content. For ads and local products we brief each market separately.
Is English left in Dutch scripts?
Often, for product names and terms of art. We keep the English the audience expects and say it the way Dutch speakers do.
How long does a Dutch project take?
The quote gives the date.
