r/learndutch on Reddit: How accurate is google translates pronunciation?
February 18, 2021 -
I’ve recently started learning dutch. And I’ve gotten into the habit, whenever I learn a new word or phrase, of quickly typing it into google and listening to the audio to verify the pronunciation.
Do people find the audio on google translate to be accurate?

I would recommending using Wiktionary https://nl.wiktionary.org/wiki/voorbeeld and click on the speaker icon. As it has a lot of entries and almost every entry has an audio file.

About as accurate as the English one. It's a computerized voice. Gets most kinda right. Some are pretty bad. Indeed like another user suggested, use Forvo for pronunciation.

October 12, 2025 - I used to be able to highlight exactly what I wanted to translate. Now it tries to auto-select words and frequently selects parts of text I don’t need or won’t select the text I want. Please switch back to manually highlight method or make it an option. Finally, please bring back the reading/pronunciation of the original word (the reading of the Japanese character in this case). This app was a 6 stars out of 5 before. After this update to google ...

Translating a word from the alphabet of one language to another(get the pronuntiation), is named transliteration and it is not supported by Cloud Translate API yet.
However, there is a feature request filed for the same. You can vote for this feature by clicking "+1" and "STAR" mark to recieve updates on it.

I was also looking for the same answer. I haven't found a way to get Pronuntiation with the Google Translate API yet. However, I found a way to get it through the Python library. You can use the Python googletrans library. The code is as follows.
You must use googletrans library 3.1.0a0 to avoid errors.
# pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0
from googletrans import Translator
translator = Translator()
SENTENSE = "안녕하세요. 반갑습니다."
LANGUAGE_CODE = translator.detect(SENTENSE).lang
k = translator.translate(SENTENSE, dest=LANGUAGE_CODE)
print(k)
print(k.text)
print(k.pronunciation)
Output:
Translated(src=ko, dest=ko, text=안녕하세요. 반갑습니다., pronunciation=annyeonghaseyo. bangabseubnida., extra_data="{'translat...")
안녕하세요. 반갑습니다.
annyeonghaseyo. bangabseubnida.

How does Google Translate pronounce the words? - Quora
Answer: Thanks for A2A. Until answering this question, I have never listened to a Google pronunciation and find that it does a much better job than my SatNav. Early text-to-speech was done using synthetic phonemes. Each phoneme is a most basic sub-syllable sound. For example, using the word “wo...

r/German on Reddit: How accurate is google translate when it comes to pronunciation.
July 2, 2017 -
I'm attempting to self teach myself German, I'm having a little trouble with some of the pronunciations and it seems every site is a little bit off. A good example of this as if you just say Deutschland in Google translate it sounds different then on other websites than in this site https://www.howtopronounce.com/deutschland/
Is google translate reliable enough on its pronunciation that I can use it to get an idea of what some harder to say words sound like?
Top answer 1 of 4

Wow, that example is terrible. Some Dutch guy, I believe Some bad text-to-speak voice I don't even know Some Asian girl probably. None of those are native speakers, Leo.org has good pronunciation by professional native speakers. http://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/Deutschland Google Translate is using text-to-speak, I believe. High quality one, but human speakers are still better.

The examples on howtopronounce.com (all four of them) are definitely not native speakers. Not that their pronunciation is terrible or anything, but it's actually really noticeable. I just tried google with an example sentence , and it's pretty good actually. Maybe it's less reliable in some fringe cases? When in doubt I'd rather trust a specialised website like forvo, or a translator like dict.cc or pons, but in general it doesn't seem to be far off.

June 9, 2025 - Google Translate added a few features to its main web home, including instant translations as you type. What's really helpful is a bit more tucked away: phonetic pronunciations for non-Roman alphabets, like Chinese, and text-to-speech pronunciations for translating to English.

I don't think that with the google translate you can change the accent
I would recommend you either to search on google "Cambridge dictionary" or download the app called "WordReference" both of them translate the words you are looking for and they both have the American and the British accent
